Looks good but a bit awkward from some angles

It almost reminds me of a from or some sort of amphibian. I don't like to new styling of the mazdaspeed3's. I use to drive a 2008 and I love the aggressive look of them, too bad I had to give it up so I can save up otherwise I would still have the car.

I like the interior though but there's a lot of buttons just like the new accords but overall I like the interior.

damn makes me want a mazda. i like the exterior styling revamp on the speed, normal hatch looks a little boring without the extra little touches

That was the best part of the older MS3's, they just look almost the same as any regular 3's, you just gotta love the sleeper look. I loved schooling G35's, MR2's, Skylines, intergra type R's, 350z's, etc. These douche bags would start revving up and try to race me last summer and end up getting schooled because they didn't know the car pulled strong and hard, all they thought was that they could have easily beaten a regular mazda3. Heh I will miss those days, but now time to grow up and save for better things.

Back to the thread, the new MS3's so far looks disappointing. There's way too much smile in that front end. And this is coming from a mazda fanboy.

Good numbers but it manages to look dumber than a regular 3.

It looks like a stoned anime character.

I'll have to wait and see if my opinon changes when I view one in person but the big, smiley mouth looks too forced. The rear end looks nearly the same as the current model. I'm sure it will be a good performer much like the current one.

The front end ruins it for me

The old ones look better.

Thats what everyone said about the 06/07 sti too.

I wonder how many opinions will change when they see one in person.

[Xtrema]

No AWD, no care.

04/05 > 06/07 for me still

[pattyt]

can someone say torque steer?

[Toms-SC]

No new power? Lame.

Nice interior, the nav or whatever that is is soooo small though. I'd be like trying to use your casio digital watch to get directions.

Where did the OP get 280hp from? It says right in the article that it's getting 268HP.

It seems like a good performer like the last gen, but I cannot like a 268hp grin.

[Zenshi]

that looks like the wrx... wtf?

[Mibz]

It looks like it's saying "Ha guys!"

[Canmorite]

I like the new Mazda 3, but the Mazdaspeed is just ok. I think it could be a bit edgier, and without the AWD...meh, like Xtrema said.
