well i\'ve waited for a while already.. might as well cancel with avante and pick this puppy up in 2006..
intersting that they dumbed down the 2.3L MPS6 engine down.. u know what this means.. LOTSA ROOM FOR MODS AND POWER
they should have kept it a 2.0L to compete in the rally world .. oh well
are you just trying to keep me from cancelling my purchase from avante?:p heh..
i just thoght of something.. if/when MSP3 is out.. this will mean a drop-in turbo that won\'t void the warranty no?
Hope it comes late late late... later than 2008 or sth... I just got my car!! argh...
Titanium|sport|5speed|2.3
Sparco Grip Pedals|Momo race carbon knob
PIAA Low Beams|White signal/fogs
If it gets the piano gloss black interior pieces like in the MX Sportif, I\'ll be all over it...the interior pieces, not the car.
no drop-in turbo for the 2.3L engine we have as the one in the MPS6 is a direct-injected ALL mazda engine (i.e. it shares zero architecture with the duratec 2.3L engine).Originally posted by majic

japanese manufacturers in the JDM market uses direct-injection gas engines .... better fuel consumption and higher compression ratios ...more power from smaller displacement![]()
Interesting... it has a GS style grille...
I thought they would use the Mazdaspeed mesh grille.
Mazda3 SOLD. Bye Bye XeBa
it\'s going to share its looks with the mx sportif version.. it won\'t necessairly look identical but we don\'t know to what extent till it\'s on the road..Originally posted by Xenon

it looks nothing like the Mazdaspeed Axela A-Spec found on the mazda.co.jp site....
Which I don\'t like, cuz the one on the jp site looks amazing.
but FWIK.. JDM.. A-spec.. Ausie (mx) and others have different stylings.. just like JDM hondas and american ones.. so just wati till more info comes out about the styling cues..
FYI, the photo in the article that I linked to is of the MX Sportif concept car, not the Mazdaspeed 3.
THATS A SEDAN!!!
With the GS/GX bumper style? I donno... THe Mazdaspeed 6 got all new body panels. That car looks like a GS with skirts.Originally posted by methodyst
