The speed3 is already on the s-plan price list I have ($20,804 and $22,404). So I guess they were planning on allowing it, but the dealers protested and said "no way" on this model
 
It wasnt a dealer decision...also remember, s-plan is dealer optional anyway...so even if Mazda allowed it I suspect that the huge percentage of dealers wouldnt offer it. Of course if the car doesn't sell you will see special purchase plans accepted....From what I'm seeing and hearing this speed has the highest number of pre-sells of any previous speeds. I only have one left without a deposit.

but somehow (as bad as Mazda is doing) I am thinking they will start cranking them out once this first batch of "limited production" is sold.
 
Well that statement is a little off. Mazda is doing great. I'm not sure what you use as your source, but, it happen to be false information.
 
2005 was Mazda's greatest sales year ever, and so far, Mazda is ahead of those sales by 12% for MY 2006. Doing bad?? I think not.
 
So like I said, you call it supply and demand I call it Karma
 

 
Well, since I do not believe in Karma, if you happen to not buy at sticker or above, someone else will, I call that doing business and making money. Which I'm sure you do from 9-5 M-F. Am I wrong?

My Salesman today told me that if he wanted a Speed3 he would have to pay full sticker price also. I dont get it...they had about 15 Speed6's but they were seriously discounted. So no one likes the 6 just the 3?

Bay Area deals on 2007 3i Touring? by wco81

Almaden and Oak Tree advertise such unbelievable prices.
 
With Civic prices being so outrageous, is the Mazda 3 offering better value because of the likely selling prices in this area?

Speed3 and Speed6 were/are targeted twards different audiences.
 
Speed6 was targeted toward the Audi A4 Quattro/BMW buyer. Loads of performance and decent luxury for a cost that cannot be matched by competitors.
 
Speed3 is targeted twards the boy racer on a budget.
 
There is a higher demand, and less competition in the boy racer market when you figure the price of the Speed3. You can trounce a Subaru WRX for $22,800. Where as with the Speed6, you have a $30,000 vehicle. Once you get to that price, there is a lot more choices. Plus, no auto tranny in a class where most potential buyers are looking for an auto tranny.

You can now get a Speed6 for around 23k, with all the latest incentives.

That is correct. But, not when it came out.

i almost thought about a speed6 or the speed3. settled on the 3GT for the fact i wouldnt have to put premium fuels in it. Also i think the speed3 would have too much power to handle well in a minnesota winter.

I think snow tires will probably be a must for the Speed3.
 
Premium fuel in now coming down, which is nice.
 
Not all people need the extra power, that's why the speed3 and speed6 are more of an enthusiast vehicle.
