    Is there going to be a mazdaspeed 3?

    i was thinking since there is no more protege do you guys think they are going to make the mazda 3 have a mazdaspeed option? or has anyone heard anything about it?

    search for it.. it's been discussed a coupla times.
    i found an article on it a while back.. but i can't find remember where.
    the gist of it was 210hp and (maybe) AWD.

      i dont think it will be a good car for speed racing, since mazda speed tuned the protege for racing purposes first and then offered a more street-able version of it, i don't expect them do the same to the 3, however i do think that the 3 hatcback could use some more power to compete against the fastest version of the toyota matrix, but not for racing purposes.

      that's just my opinion, but mazda could be planning on releasing one anyways.

          hey on the matrix boards they are putting superchargers on thier matrixes and getting like 300 +hp so mazda will have to go big turbo to get that much

            meh. the 2.3l should be able to push 275whp if the components are strong enough... the 300 is not unattainable.

            is toyota making stock supercharged matrixes, or is this all aftermarket stuff?

                hmm. that's cool..
                i'll ask my uncle 'bout it when i see him next... he hit me when i bought a pro instead of a matrix.. lol
                but a supercharged matrix would be a useful 2nd car while the pro is in the shop or outta commission.

                    meh. i don't know anybody that owns one.
                    my uncle just hit me cuz a matrix from him is cheaper that any pro on the floor.
                    meh... it's ugly without body kits, fat rims and lowering springs. then it's actually pretty nice.

                    i know civic people hate me.. they always make fun of my "granny-car" but whatever.. it's better a rice-pot.

                      well the factory ground effects look real nice on the matrix but they need rims to look good and i think it only looks good in navy blue

                          the stock pros are granny cars.. i think i've seen like 50 young people driving them.. in comparisson to the 1000 50+ year old ladies that drive the car..
