you don't actually think any dealer is going to have any idea about this yet do you?

If they want your business bad enough they will.
They ARE part of Mazda, bazooka joe isn't.(thought)

I hope it's available in the P5/MP3 Yellow. Perhaps when Dru finishes law school, we'll trade in my sedan on one.

 

[Rogue]

doubt it will be. seems like all the colors have the mica fleck. I saw a Mz3 Hatch with the MSP yellow today.... it was "ok" at best. The P5/MP3 yellow was so much better.

If I buy a new car in the future...There is a damn good chance it will be an MS3!

I was always curious..what car do you drive ?

The MS3 is smokin' !! I'm pretty close to getting a new MX-5, but this is putting some doubts in my mind.

ha ok well the only reason i asked is cuz last month i went to test drive the 3 and rx8 and i asked about when to expect the ms3 and he told me that it would never make it to production, basically laughed at me for asking (btw, i will never go back to his dealer for business now cuz hes clearly a jackass)

I like the wheels looks very VWish. I want the bulgy like a moose hood too. definately beefs it up a bit.

With over 250 horsepower, the MAZDASPEED3 redefines the meaning of speed. Its high-performance MZR 2.3-liter DISI Turbo engine, six-speed transmission, and razor-sharp handling turn it into a beast on the road. And with muscular, flared front fenders, floating fog lamps, aerodynamically powerful edges, and flush black interior it looks wild, too. Red stitching accents the seating, steering wheel, and shift knob for a swift, sporty refinement. And the 18, 10-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, roof spoiler, and big, boisterous tailpipe keep the style flowing all the way to the rear end. But while other sports cars stop at sports, the MAZDASPEED3 features some remarkable assets. An upgraded brake system makes for alert and active safety. And for the tightest handing and responsiveness during hard cornering, Mazda provides the combined power of an enhanced suspension, the smart Mazda Advance Impact-energy Distribution and Absorption System, powerful four-wheel ABS, and a newly developed torque-reduction system with limited slip differential. Well engineered and beautifully designed, Mazdas nimble MAZDASPEED3 is one of the fastest sports compacts with an FWD layout on the market.

jbiird317: I'd say that pretty much confirms that it's coming out.

Yeah, that was more of a (stfu) for that goofball dealer you talked to.

Anyway, it looks like they're labeling it as a 2007 model so I'd look for a release date some time this fall. Although Mazda Canada says "Set to arrive at Canadian dealerships this summer... " (dunno)

 

[RHAGEL]

Whats with them putting the specs in metric and using the word "petrol". Where the hell do they think we live?

 

[Mace Windu]

well , if it's off the canadian site that makes sense.

But seriously why haven't we gotten everything from Mazda yet, what's the hold up on the zoom-zoom?
