Autoweek: Mazda3 a hit!
http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content...._code=02067768
Best part: "Mazda engineers grin when they say this chassis can take 'a lot more horsepower.' " :D |
The guage/guage pod and steering wheel look very similar to the rx8's. Love the fender flairs on the 3 too.

another great mazda product
love the stick , gauges, console in that thing, great frekin vehicle ________ grandma Cam |
nice car. like a stubby version of the 6.

wow its the same dash as 8
|
Hope they will make a 3 door (real hot hatch) version and lighter. The new 3 is a great looking car but a bit heavy. 3000lbs for a hatch is pretty heavy IMO.
|
wow. the seats, door sills, steering wheel, guage layout, central controls, dash layout, etc... the RX-8 truly is the new halo car, until the next one ;)
|
Mazda plans call for a three-door, wagon and convertible 3, and MazdaSpeed, MPS and all-wheel-drive versions available by the end of calendar year 2005. + the same versions for the mazda6. looks like good times for mazda. now if they would just straighten out their dealerships, they could sell a shitload of cars |

or you could look at it the other way round lensman. perhaps it will increase the perceived value of the 3 for the price. "wow it's got some of the same cool stuff as the rx-8 that i just looked at but can't afford! "

I wouldnt go as far as the 3 is a smaller rx8

It's VERY common for items for the Halo car to trickle down into the lower priced models. Especially styling cues. Immitation is the best form of flatery.
Everybody wants the real thing, but most can not afford it. |
good point puppy
I didn't think of it that way |
i think its good that mazda is making their entire line more apealing
nice solids would be good too in leather, like blue leather, pretty sure that was on one of the prototypes, looked frekin SICK ________ Bmw Headquarters History |
I'm interested in the mention of an AWD version in 2005...

Originally posted by RobDickinson As the Mazda 3 is basicaly a next gen focus then I guess AWD is a posibility, and ford will be developing a cosworth version ( 300~bhp, 4wd). |
