mazda releases fresh faced mazda 3

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/07/m...zda3-in-japan/

simple nose upgrade, looks like a few interior mods as well(i like the brush metal on the steering wheel for the cruise buttons.) also the article states some models are coming with LED taillights.


mazdaspeed model

I don't care too much for the new nose on the standard 3, but as always, the mazdaspeed 3 looks hot.
I like the agressive look on the fronts of the new mazdaspeeds. The 3 and the 6 both have very clean yet very agressive fronts.

Why does the US get shafted with no AWD or Activematic system? Dammit, I knew the geopolitical climate was going to screw us!

I saw a RX-8 on the showroom floor at a mazda dealership here in north austin that had all the MS kit , wheels, everything. It was a brand new 06. I asked the dealer how much those things would be to buy seperatlely on my 04' and he said you might as well buy the mazdaspeed rx-8. I was kinda confused seeing that I don't see a mazdaspeed rx-8 listed in whole to buy on any mazda site?? Anyone??

Thanks Zoom for the info update.

I notice that Miata and Mazda 3 now get 6 CD changer with MP3 capable, but not RX-8, what's up with that... not to mention Mazda 3 get aux-in as well, which appearently the only model in the entire line up(base on current info)...

My friend has a 04 Mazda 3 wagon that has the 6 disc changer that is MP3 capable, so its been around awhile. Not sure about the Miata.

Are you sure?

Mazda 3's in-dash 6 CD changer suppose to have MP3 support starting on the '06, anything before that has the same 6 CD changer unit as RX-8. Regardless, current info does not show whether or not RX-8 will get CD changer with MP3 support
