think this was posted but just in case - based on the camo and on the pics in the Mazda site for the hatchback:

it looks like it will look a lot like the hatch with a bigger rear spoiler and a hood scoop

I heard they havent decided if they will go with a beefier 2.3DISI Turbo or use the 2.5Ecotech... now if they would go rear wheel drive ;-)

Well i hopes its not a chevy motor.... Duratec is what you are thinking about!

I would not count on a hood scoop. Might not even make a speed version. There is a video on line I have seen of a blue 2010 hatch driving around. I just cannot get past that gaping mouth. I could not buy something I do not like the looks of. My new 09 looks awesome.

I'd def count on a hood scoop...there have been several spyshots and vids of the supposed 2010 ms3 and it has a hood scoop.

LOL! I wouldnt mind a LS2 or LS3 Chevy engine in the MS3 but yes I was thinking of the Ford engine not the Chevy.. thanks for pointing it out..
