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.

heh...it's not so bad; probably looks better in person.
 
I just went for drive in an Acura TL (SH-AWD) and a TSX -- both 09...they look pretty nice in person whereas they look hideous in print (IMO)

The two red colors offered are Velocity Red (from 04-06) and Copper Red (06, 08.5-09).
 
The GT's for 2010 will have either Dune Beige or Black.

2.5L mpg dissappointment by m6user

Is it too much to expect that a compact car with the same basic powertrain as a midsize get better fuel economy?
 
Especially with supposed aerodynamic improvements.....what gives? Isn't this supposed to be the so-called "economy class"? How many other manufacturers have better fuel mpg numbers for their midsize offerings than their compact offerings using the same engine and transmission? It is lighter so it must be a lot less aerodynamic or geared differently or something.
 
I'm just somewhat dissappointed that Mazda couldn't get better mpg numbers with their big 6 in the new "6" and now I see the same thing with the big 4 in the "3".

'10 5-door and Mazdaspeed by aviboy97

Got confirmation today, again, about the 5-door as well as the 2010 Mazdaspeed3. Speculation about the Mazdaspeed3 was it would be a 2011, however, it will be a 2010.
 
Pricing will be made public in January. After the Detroit Auto Show, in January, you will be able to "build your own" Mazda3 sedan and 5-door on mazdaUSA.com.
 
Brochures for the 2010 Mazda3 will be available in January and inventory of the 2010 Mazda3 will begin shipping in January and be on dealer lots in early February.
 
I hope that answers some questions for you all!

gearing, gearing and more gearing.
 
Is the Mazda3 really that far off in fuel economy?? Lets see.
 
Corolla XRS (2.4L 158hp / 162tq) MPG 22/30
Corolla S (1.8L 132hp / 128tq) MPG 27/35
 
Honda Civic (1.8L 140hp / 128tq) MPG 25/36
 
Nissan Sentra (2.0L 140hp / 147tq) MPG 25/33
 
Mazda3 i (2.0L 148hp / 135tq) MPG 24/33
Mazda3 s (2.5L 167hp / 168tq) MPG 22/29
 
With a big power advantage in both 2.0L and 2.5L engines, the FE is not too far off at all compared to the leading competition. Add to the Mazda the huge advantage in driveability, and one can look past the slim mpg disadvantage, especially in a market where fuel is around $2.00/gal.
