Anyone want to SPECULATE on the "Other Exciting Products"

In 2011 I know there is a face lifted Mazda 3 coming, they are toning down the smile a little from what I have been told...this is a very early model change.

What else, Mazda 6 and 2 have just been updated.

CX-7? Maybe
CX-9? Maybe

MX-5? Dunno
RX-8? Nup
