I just got an email about the streaming broadcast of the unveiling. Note that they say this is the "all-new MAZDA3", not the "all-new MAZDA3 sedan". The next news release will be something like this: "Mazda has decided that, due the worldwide economic slump and resulting decrease in auto sales, plans to produce the Mazda3 hatchback model will be delayed." Then they'll quietly cancel it sometime later. |

Ever see the movie “Groundhog Day”. I'm living it now... “there's no hatch (boo hoo)” “yes...there is” “no, I don't believe it. Life's not fair” “it is fair...gas is cheaper and Mazda told me they're bringing it” “no, they didn't tell me...I'm sad” “it'll be ok...there will be other hatches” “no there won't...I can't go on...” REWIND press PLAY I'd hate to un-subscribe to this forum, but it's driving me crazy  How about something like this. The 6spd manual in the Mazda 6 is the same as the one in the Mazda 3. The gear ratios are perfectly spaced with the throws nice and short. The shifts are fluid smooth with a positive engagement. The clutch is light but the take-up is near the top with friction point (sweet spot) about 2 inches...or something like that.

It's just outlandish that anyone is listening to someone with absolutely no insight or knowledge pertaining to this car. This makes us all idiotic for actually listening to it.

There are many more things to talk about... it's probably best if we leave this particular item behind. (PS - everyone makes mistakes - no one is "nothing but correct." You spelled my name incorrectly  )

There are plenty of hints here that Mazda is leaving the option for dropping the Mazda3 hatchback on the table. Add the state of the economy worldwide and I suspect there's a good chance they will drop it, and it's getting more likely by the day. How many of you thought there would be a Mazda6 5-door model after you saw all the spy shots, official Mazda photos, insider info, and press releases. I guess you were wrong about that, eh?
