| Any chance Mazda will put the 6 speed auto on the 08 model? Any other notable changes? | |
Does anyone have any reliable info on the 2009 Mazda3?

Well it sounds like just some minor updates for 2009, more sound insulation, interior upgrades, new colors, etc. Actually it appears the colors have changed already on the 2008. I guess the big change will be in the 2010 model. |

I'd like to lend my voice to the chorus that is asking Mazda and other car manufacturers to give us less ... that is, less weight. I am hoping that Mazda copies its success with the Mazda2 and lowers the weight of its new Mazda3. "The Mazda2 is also a marvel of lightweight technology, weighing only 2,103 lbs. Mazda told us that its engineers managed to shave about 220 pounds off the former Mazda2, yet the body is stiffer, NVH is down, and safety is improved."

Replying to: autonomous (Mar 17, 2008 8:22 am) By the way, the Mazda2 is receiving rave reviews from Autoworld, the British weekly. In part it is due to its low weight, handling and fuel efficiency. The Mazda3, on the other hand, is not positively reviewed. |

"In the spring of 2009, the next-generation Mazda3 will debut as a 2010 model. Mazda will re-engineer the car's existing C1 platform underpinnings. The engine family will remain the same, but upgrades in power and fuel economy are planned. Most of the changes address consumer concerns over noise, vibration and harshness without removing the dynamic driving experience. The design will feel more integrated, especially with optional sport appearance packages". From Mazda expects to tinker with a steady lineup by Mark Rechtin, Automotive News. The new look of Mazda3 is from Laurens van den Acker, Mazda's new design chief.
