I was also looking to visit Ourisman Mazda for my new Mazda 3. Can you tell me what options you got? What was the sticker price? Also, were any of your "10" offers from any dealers in the Baltimore area? Thanks and good luck with your new car.

I went with the standard options. They put wheel locks on all cars so that's an added $50. The window msrp was $18180.
 
I requested offers from Va (northern Va, Richmond, Fredericksburg) , College Park, Owings Mills and Frederick MD. I solicited enough dealerships IMHO to feel I got a good deal for this area. I found Fitzmall to be a good starting point. No dealer could beat them (without a hassle) until Ourisman underbid them significantly.
 
If you decide to go to Ourisman make sure you deal with Ben Stark and mention my name (if you feel like it ) I get something for sending them business...forget what it was now.

The rumour is sometime next year. Mazda does not seem to roll out multiple new cars in the same year. This year they redesigned the Mazda6. Next year could be the Mazda3 as the first generation will have celebrated its 6th year (first model was a 2004). Going 7 years with the same generation can risk making the design look old. The new generation could be rolled out towards the latter half of the year (eg September / October 2009) to clear out the first generation of Mazda3. A great way to get a bargain! One sure fire signal of upcoming changes are the international auto shows, so you may want to keep your eye out for those in the fall.
 
p.s. salesman are wary of talking about these types of changes for the very reason that you noted: do not want an older body style if a new one will be out in a couple years

Supposedly with the 2009 model. I don't know if it'll be a total redesign. There are pictures online of one in testing (allegedly). It appears to be longer. Other than that I didn't see a huge difference. Your probably better off taking advantage of the current and upcoming deals to clear out the 2008s.
 
Here are the photos I saw.

I have you all beat... by 2term8r

2008 Hatch Touring w/ sunroof out the door for $19,000 here in MA (Got it for 17,955 and MSRP 20,200). But thats not all, the dealership is throwing in a 3 day/2night, air-fair, at the NewYork NewYork Hotel in Vegas. Beat that one! Bwahhahahahahaha
 
(if you don't believe me here is the sight, I thought it was a BS and so didn't my sales person when they first offered it, but I've scanned over every single fine print and its perfectly legit)

Ideally I'd like to get more off the price rather than a mini-vacation, but beggars can't be choosers! Take that for an incentive.

Considering I didn't want a hatch or a trip to vegas I don't think you did that well. Just kidding. I did want a sunroof but Im not complaining considering I got my 2008.5 sedan for $17200 OTD.
 
Congrats!

According to this article the big difference is the increase in power due to the larger 2.5 engine: the optional 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder will be upgraded to 2.5 liters. The increased displacement should provide a 20-30-hp boost. An extra 20 to 30 hp means that the hatchback could be close to 180 to 190 hp which should help it compete with the Civic Si.
