This explains why there are still people who think the first lunar landing was a hoax.

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?

I wasn't kidding. Let's move on to discussing something... anything... else.

I really like the interior. The only thing about the exterior that bugs me is the over sized "smile" in the front.
 
I'm a little disappointed with the 2.0L 4 cyl. It looks like Europe will be the first to get the 2.0L with the start-stop idol technology. That's a bummer. I am happy that FE has been improved.
 
I'm also disappointed with the FE on the 2.5L. I'm not sure how the Mazda6 has a few more ponies and 1mpg better FE. After reading the first drive review, they seem to really be impressed with the power delivery of the 2.5L.
 
I watched the live debut online, and I will say the car looks really good when seen at all angles and someone standing next to it.
 
Overall, I like it. I can't wait to get behind the wheel!

I agree, I think the smile will be the biggest thing to get used to, but I think it will be ok. I think it will depend a lot on the paint color too. The fuel economy is a little disappointing on the 2.5L, it will be interesting to see some real world numbers once they become available.
 
Speaking of which... Is there any more information on the expected availability at dealerships?

I believe our first allocation will be processed December 1st. I'll double check on that. Expect these to be on dealer lots by end of February to early March.

The 2.5 on the Mazda6 felt a little under-powered; I loved the 6spd. My Mazda6 entry.
 
I think this output may be more appropriate on the 3

I was really excited about the prospects of a new 3, but my god the front end is awful looking. Paint some whiskers on the front and it would look like a large catfish.
