x2, The Gunmetal Blue sounds interesting, anticipating seeing that one!

That reminds me of the colour my aunt's early 2000 BMW had. it looked cool

Is true there are rumors of a rotary 3 apparently anybody wants to confirm it?

[Busdriver]

If you do a search, you'll find the interior pics. They have been posted for some time now on here. I'm too lazy to search for you and post them up again...

no joke , iam getting 14L, I pass big rigs allot so I gotta speed up to 130-140 to pass them so iam guessing thats why, I get nervous when iam beside or behind them , so iam guessing thats why my gas milege is soo crap and thats with changing gears at 1900-2000 rpm

I haven't heard anything about this; but from a pure economics standpoint, I doubt it will happen. The mazda3 is already not the most frugal car in the world; it's unlikely mazda will put a rotary engine on their base model either.

There's also some history here; About thirty years ago, Mazda bet the farm on rotary engines, and darned near lost it all. I'm pretty sure they won't do that again; at least not until they're more confident in rotary technology.

20? Closer to 30 I thought. Mid 70's and all.

But yeah, look at the fuel economy the Renesis has been getting. I doubt Mazda will try using only rotary engines again.

Thirty then... I can't add or subtract today. (</sarcastic>)

20 does not equal 30; not even for large values of 20.

YES!!!! color 27A (velocity red mica) is back for 2010. Now, all I have to do is try to persuade my parents getting that color.
I won't have to buy another color of the touch-up pen!

Weird, my car gets BETTER mileage at 125km/h than at 110km/h.. don't ask me why.. I tried this in the US one day.. f'in strange..
I think it has to do with the gearing vs. engine rpm bs and air/fuel mixture at a certain engine speed.. it was explained to me, but I forgot it.. kind of like Tim Allen on Home Improvement when Wilson explains something to him, and he gets is backwards..

It's probably the wind. 85-90 km/h will yield the best fuel mileage in vast majority of cars.

indeed

Regardless of my (lack of) mathematical ability, I can't see Mazda taking that kind of risk again on their flagship products. It would be cool to have a rotary engine in the car, but I just can't see it happening.

I will say this though...If they make a rotary-engined 3, FWD or not, I'd buy it..

I get 7L/100 on my 04gt to and from work. 85% hiway

[b.rabbit]

Are we still talking about the 2010 Mazda3s?

[Thrizzl3]

is it gonna be the same dimensions as the current mazda 3 or is it longer/shorter??

[whiteomega]

wheelbase is probably going to be the same (I think it's still the same basic underlying chassis); they might make it slightly longer to accomodate more space in the trunk.

[vladimir]

It is this week sometime isn't it?

I don't like the new design too much... Interior seems a little nicer though.
