I could use one of these, esp. if it has the 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbo slated to crank out 300 hp as used in the new Euro-only Ford Focus RS!

Digging that scoop, rear spoiler and RX-8 like wheels & front end hidden in there. Very nice! All wheel drive perhaps?

that looks pretty sweet

 

2.5t.. oh dear if we had one of those in our 8s.

 

looks pretty bad ***... someone run up and start taking off the tape!

 

it has 40th aniv year rims.

 

Looks beefy


^^^did he really just say that??????

 

Oh snap, repost.

 

Good game, WRX, Civic Si and Lancer GTS... Good Game..

 

Please let it have AWD. That's the only thing that kept me from buying the last one. It should have come with the same drivetrain as the MS6.

 

look more curvy like the R3 wheels, but lighter in color- the 40th wheels have more edges (i've spent a long time staring at mine :-P)

 

meh.....

 

Looks like it has a pretty aggressive front bumper.

 

If it turned out to be AWD I'd buy one immediately.

 

looks awesome. i'd love to get one of these.

 

I highly doubt it will have RWD, look at the Focus RS, they dumped a ton of money into developing the "Revo Knuckle" in order to make an increasingly faster FWD car market. Plus, look at the new Cobalt SS while its still a crappy baseline model Chevy, its beating cars that are more expensive and AWD. AWD is just going to make the car heavier.

All that aside, I'd love to see this beast as an AWD machine!

 

Meh looks like the new WRX STi to me and I can't stand that hatch look. It could have 800 whp for the same price and I still don't think I would buy one.

 

sweet!!!!

 

Someone with good photoshop skills needs to put the sedan's face on the hatch body, pronto! :

 

its the mazdaspeed3 so it'll look different.

 

I don't think it'll be that far off since since the intake ducts have been replaced with the hood scoop. I'd say the only major difference on the front end is the bulging hood.

 

I hate to say it but...+1

 

it looks awesome, id maybe trade my 8 for one haha

 

if its AWD, Im all for it.

Or else. no deal.

 

It looks FWD. Wide front and similar rear width. I doubt Mazda will put a AWD MS3.

 

too small for my taste. Need space. Wish Mazda brought the new Mazda6 in wagon format!
