Talked to a rep at the St Louis Auto Show last night about the 3; he said no pricing yet, 6 weeks 'til they hit the showroom, and they are going to 'hold the line' on pricing. They had a fully decked out 2.5 there on display and he said it would be around $25k, give or take. He was kinda vague but that's all I could get outta him.
 
BTW, he also said the CX-7 is being reworked cosmetically (including new dashboard layout and some other 'freshening') and will arrive in showrooms as a 2010 around May, which I thought was pretty odd. HOWEVER, he said it would have the turbo 4 but also the 2.5 non-turbo as an available motor! I guess the mpg complaints of the turbo 4 may be hurting sales. that thing is 4000 lbs +, i wonder how sluggish it would be with the 2.5?

Jeff-
 
The 2010 Mazda CX-7 is undergoing some changes. I am unaware of any cosmetic changes, including the interior. As for the motor choices, you are correct. The Mazda CX-7 with the 2.3L Turbo will be the CX-7 s and the CX-7 with the NA 2.5L will be the CX-7 i, just like the Mazda3 and 6. My guess is the 2.5L will be rated around 19 city / 26 highway.

What does "hold the line" on pricing mean?
Why is it so important to keep the pricing a secret?

I believe it means NO incentives/discounts.

I take "hold the line" on pricing to mean that there won't be a drastic increase in price over the current 2009 model 3. I'm not sure about that though, when I looked at the Mazda Canada site it looked like prices went up by about 1K. Of course the argument will be made that there is more content in the 2010 model, so we'll just have to decide for ourselves if the extra content is worth the higher base price.

I tend to agree with you on what "hold the line on pricing" means. Surely Mazda realizes with the economy like it is they are gonna have to be aggressive with pricing. Concerning the Canadian pricing that you mentioned, I am hoping that we can expect the 3 S Sport to be about the same price as the current 3 S Touring. This is what I was told by my local dealer after he talked with a Mazda rep. Surely a base 3 S Sport Automatic will not retail for over $21,000 including destination. What do you think?

Cautionary Tale - New 3 GT ! by griswald

2 days ago I had my Mazda P5 in for service and saw a brand spanking new 3 in the showroom and became entranced. Yesterday I picked up the first 2010 Mazda3 sold in Windsor,ON - a GT in a smokey silver color (forget what it's called) with black leather premium package & dealer window tint, without even taking a test drive. Having read about it I knew pretty much what to expect even though I wasn't planning to buy one, at least not yet. My plan was to wait until there was a somewhat comparable NA built vehicle available, maybe a Chevy Cruze or the European based Ford Focus. Anyway, great service at that Windsor Mazda dealer, things have been a little slow there too but they also just sold a MazdaSpeed3 while I was looking. I traded in the P5 (was a great car, pretty sad to see it go) but this new one's in a whole different league. It's hard to believe that only 8 years separates the two cars, the 2010's like from the future, a beautiful car & much better in person than the pics. It's also obviously better than my wife's 2008.5 Mazda3 GS (first time in 30 years she's shown any jealousy at all - my Valentine's day timing stinks). The drive home (28km) was a great ride and seemed like the quickest ever. Yesterday, being Friday 13th. and me not wanting to tempt fate, I just parked it in the garage instead of our customary new car cruise. Today it's snowing and me being a discretionary driver don't want to get it all salted up so I probably won't be driving it again until the roads dry up. My timing just sucks. Guess I'll just have to content myself with programming the radio stations and driver auto power seat positions (they auto adjust to driver's settings via driver remote key fobs when unlocking). If anyone has any questions I'll try & answer.
Peace, out

I'd love to exchange information with you. I'm on the fence right now between an 2009 Mazda3 S touring hatch or a 2010 Mazda3 GT.
 
I like certain things about each one but I have a feeling I won't be able to test drive both before the 09's are sold out.
 
Just wondering if you'd driven the current 04-09 model and had any personal comparisons.
