Yea I know dood, I have one... If you read the article they said said it was some new designs debuting at the Tokyo auto show earlier this month.. if it happened or not I dont know.. but that 3 looks pretty bad ass..

 

[Je5ter]

So does this mean they may be continuing the speed 3 for another year?

It means Mazdaspeed got to prepare the 6/3/2 for an autoshow. Either they had nothing better to do or it's a trial balloon just like the "AWD" MS3 prepared by DG with Mazda NA help.

And I quote (re the 6, but I'm sure it's the same for the 3/2:

No, this concept does not preview the successor to the Mazda6 MAZDASPEED (or MPS as it’s called in Europe, Australia and other markets), nor have these pictures been leaked into the internet. The Mazda Atenza MAZDASPEED is simply a tuning proposition from MAZDASPEED that will make its debut at the 2008 Tokyo Auto Salon (something like the Japanese version of the SEMA show) that runs from January 11 to 13, 2008.

That 6 is fugly, kinda like a riced up Acura or something. That grille treatment on the 6/3/MX-5 is way too much for me. But it almost works on the 2.

They call it the Demio in the fatherland. Put a turbo 2 liter in that lightweight 4-door, make it AWD, and bring it over here, please. I also like the treatment given the MX-5 here:

2009 ms3

leave off the fender vents

i like the white in the interior, seats are nice

 

[Je5ter]

I think the fender vents are a nice touch.

Fender vents courtesy of GM (see Grand Pricks, Escalade, etc).

 

[SwampAss]

I like the 2. I think I'll get one.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

We'll never see the 2. Mazda doesnt think theres a market for it in the US

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

And BTW...these were cars for the Tokyo Auto Show...we wont see the new Speed 6 or the Speed 2...

 

[Sierra117]

As I said in another thread...

I would do horrible things to small children for those wheels...

 

[BlackCherry06]

Minus the chrome on the wheels, that 2 is pretty sweet lookin. That'd be a sweet biotch with a turbo and AWD.

 

[Raymo853]

There has been all sorts of speculation the 2 is coming to the US. Or that it may come to the US as a Ford Fiesta.

 

[jaydubz]

Japan has not decided as to whether or not they will release the mazda 2 or demio here in the states. Something tells me that it would hurt 3 sales. I predict when the 3 goes a little more upmarket next year or later this year the 2 may follow a year or so later.
