    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

    So far Mazda hasn\'t released any news on the MSP3. So I guess we\'ll just wait and see.

    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).

    o ic.. i didn\'t know that mazda \'re-invented\' the wheel with this engine.. hmmm i guess back to aftermarket turbos eh?


    MPS6 = mazdaspeed mazda6
    what does MPS stand for then? = mazda protege speed? why MPS?

    MPS ...from the article, i\'m guessing Mazda Performance Series

    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.

    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..

    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.

    FYI, the photo in the article that I linked to is of the MX Sportif concept car, not the Mazdaspeed 3.
