It's amazing to me how many people won't even look at the 2010 model due to it's front grill. I really could care less about the look of the grill. There is a lot more to a car than it's grill. If you read into all the reviews/changes for the new model there is a lot of benefits. New improved engine, drive train, interior, electronics, features and functions. The new grill that everyone seems to be dwelling on actually provides reduced drag and therefore the same or better fuel economy than the outgoing model even with the more powerful engine. I must have read 50 or so reviews on the new model and not one has had any negative accept for the grill. It's a matter of personal taste. I buy a car for it's capabilities and fun factor. It just seems rather stupid to not buy a car because it has a different style grill. Take a look at other models on the road from almost any manufacturer. You can certainly make a facial expression out of any of them. Take your choice!

Replying to: tgassett (Feb 18, 2009 8:18 pm) What I found interesting is the 2010 Mazda3 s Sport, which is more along the lines of the 2009 s Touring, is a few dollars LESS then the 2009 model. Pricing across the board seems to be very similar to 2009. That's great news.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Feb 23, 2009 7:51 am) I downloaded and read the msrp info from last week. I agree. The car is priced between last years Sport and Touring models which is pretty impressive. 2010 S Sport A/T + destination retails for $20,210. Can you tell me what invoice is for this car? thanks

I am thinking about the 2010 GT sport model with both luxury options and navigation. Can anyone tell me if it has ipod integration? I have a Touch and i'd like to be able to plug it in and control it from the mazda controls. Is that possible?

I do not doubt that the 2010 Mazda 3 has many refinements over the 2009's but everytime I see a picture of one I think "Hey Look its Bozo The Car". And doing away with analog fuel and temperature gauges is a mistake. One reason why I ruled out the Mitsu Lancer. The smiley grill and curvey dash board is all a matter of subjective opinion but I'm glad I bought the 2009.
