NEW mazdaspeed3 spied!!!!

[mndsm]

I don't see how it isn't a limited production run just because they make separate limited production runs in multiple model years.

However, I think resale value should be the last concern when buying a car.

I never really worried about limited run until I found out just how rare my old SP23 was. And then I decided I wanted what other people didn't have. It's how I roll. resale as nothing to do with this car, but it is nice to know it's high, because if I get in a jam, it'll be easier to unload it and get out of said jam.

Am I the only person who thinks it looks like the new STI?

From the A-pillars back, it looks like a current-gen 3 hatch to me. The front end looks STI-ish because of the scoop. Without the scoop, it'd look much more like the front end of the next-gen 3 sedans.

Exterior-wise, without the scoop I'd consider buying one. The interior is what ruins the deal for me.

i completly agree with you james,

i sorta does look like an sti, but i still think it looks alot like the current one, i hope they add a window extending from the rear doors to the back, sorta like the current one, it would be a shame to leave that much open space covered

I guarantee you there will be windows between the C- and D-pillars like the current gen. They're just covered over with camo in the pictures.

just making sure, and by the way those rx8 rims are hawt

Yeah, I didn't realize till it was pointed out in another thread that the spokes are supposed to form the outline of rotors... that's good stuff.

 

[LASERBLUE135]

personally I'm loving the look, quite a bit better than the current edition. I hope they keep the scoop...as it IS functional. I could do with a little less "smile" and only one exhaut pipe though.

I'll take those, if I get to keep that hood scoop. Makes me confirm what I thought before, that a hoodscoop would look sick on my car, AND be functional. I need to make this happen.
