    so does the GS Sky will come standard with the Touring options? or is it extra money to get the touring edition ?

    It obviously wasn't a deal-breaker because I got the car anyway... but I find the absence of trip computer on the 2012 Sky crazy!!! Glad it will be in the 2013s but disappointed that I can't have it

    I'm in the same boat......all that + USB makes for nearly the perfect commuter car

    A little annoyed now.

    I really, really hope the touring edition GS-SKY doesn't come with an automatic gearbox standard. As long as I can get that in a manual, that's going to be my next car.

    It shouldn't be only auto. So far the only car that's had only one option for transmission has been the MS3. All others come with standard standard (heh) and auto as the option.

    Just found this random page that may or may not be from an official Mazda dealership in Chicago. It says the 2013 3 is going to come with a new SKY-D engine that produces 167 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque with a fuel economy of up to 43 mpg on the highway from a 2.2 litre engine. Crazy talk!

    Just found this link, the equipment matches the list posted here although the trim level names don`t. One point of interest is it lists a "1st row LCD screen". Not sure how accurate the prices are though but they might be a good hint (eg. `12 GT with auto is 27,740 but `13 GT auto is showing 27,490 ). Seems a bit too good to be true. Considering all the equipment that now comes standard you`d expect the price to be a bit higher not lower.

    Wow.. so a Sport GT costs almost the same as a Optima TURBO? That's crazy... an old engine with 5 spd auto (28k vs. 29k MSRP).

    Not sure how does this make any sense. I know it's 274 HyundaiPower, but still....

    I'm comparing to the Optima EX Turbo - auto, leather, dual climate, backup camera, push button; it does not have GPS and HID, but has a 6 spd auto and 100 more HP. I'm not saying the Optima is the end of the world, but I think $30k+ should go a longer way.

    With that in mind, let's see what the new Mazda 6 will bring to the table!

    The 2013 Sport GT is only $300 more than the 2012 Sport GT + GT-E package

    I believe the 2013 GT effectively comes with the GT-E package included by default.

    So the price increase isn't really that huge ($300), and for that you get a USB port and supposedly "full screen color NAV" which sounds like a big improvement over the current NAV system in the Mazda3.

    a mini cooper costs as much as optima/sonata turbo. so does a focus titanium (if not more). not everyone want's to drive around in a (somewhat fast in a straight line) bathtub.
