This was in Costa Mesa, CA, but the car had Michigan plates, which I thought impressive for a car that must only be days old.
 
How close is Costa Mesa to Irvine, CA? Right now, Mazda employees are the only ones to drive the Mazdaspeed3, many based out of Irvine, CA, and most are registered in MI, which is where corporate father, Ford, is located.

Ah, that explains it then. Costa Mesa is the next city over from Irvine. How I wish I worked for Mazda now...

You should see some of the exciting stuff they have inside the Irving HQ....but of course it's all secret.

I don't see a post on this, so here it is. Nov. Automobile:
 
"Neither the RX-8 nor the MS6 can keep pace with this young sprinter." Uh-oh, I can already feel the heat of indignation emanating from the respective forums. Times are in line with previous: 5.9 0-60, 14.3 1/4 mi. They really liked it as good compromise between stealthy track car and daily driver. "The MS3 is one of those rare have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too packages capable of entertaining its driver, hauling family or friends, and minding a budget. What it lacks in refinement, it makes up in charisma."

A guy in the Dallas area promised to snap and post pix of an MS3 today. I was told by my dealer that that's where they are taken off the train from Long Beach and put on trucks. So they should be on the lots very soon!

Talked to a larger dealer in Appleton, WI last Wed. as my GF bought a CX-7...he said they'd have 1-2 on the lot in 2 weeks. He's giving me a call when they come in

The boat that has the speed3 for the northeast should be docking in the next day or so....They usually spend a week or two at the port then they ship to dealers. It looks like speed dealers will only get one car each....then it will be a few weeks before we see another one.

I have 2 deposits on 5 of our incoming Speed3's. Both have been for list.
 
Well, It was not me who hit him $5,000 over.
 
I'm hoping my first will be in the same shipment as yours, we are pretty close in location. My other 4 do not have VIN's yet, so, I am assuming they are quite a ways away.

Talk about raising the idiot flag just to see if anyone will salute. $500 over maybe, $1000 over you never know, $5000 over for a souped up (very nicely, mind you) Mazda 3? ROL ... ROL ... Ow! my stomach hurts from laughing so hard. Got to admire the hutzpah, but have not heard of ANYONE on the forums paying more than MSRP. One person said she might cough up a couple hundred more b/c she had been waiting a long to replace her econobox, but the dealer decided they'd stick with MSRP.
