What do you think?

I think Mazda needs to stop using top mounts. They got it right for an OEM cooler with my MX6GT.

what are we comparing? Are you going to make a FC hood with that other scoop on it?

Oun

I was thinking the same thing when I took the picture.

I took the picture thinking it only took Mazda 18 years to go back to the hood scoop.

The 2010 MS3 were released to dealerships yesterday. We went and picked up ours from the Port of Tacoma. We probably have the first delivered 2010 MS3 in the North America.

We will dyno the car next week. We want to get a few miles on it first. We are up to about 250 now. By monday or tuesday we should have around a 1000 or so.

I like the car alot. It drives nice and the LSD feels better than the older models. I hit a corner pretty fast and gave it some power. You can really feel the car push the outside wheel making exits speed higher.

I absolutely adore the new huge-smile grill and headlights. Car looks great all around in my opinion.

We used to have the blue oval vinyled over with blue and "Mazda" in it. Some bastard tore it off though.

TMIC ftl. And the styling leaves a lil to be desired, but at least its functional cough* mustang...cough*

I'm w/ Twins80s on this one, this new Smiling Front end styling, has got to stop, first they gay-up the 6, now this.... but who knows, maybe the rest of the car looks good?

In stock form the 6 is a little camry-ish, but modified it looks sick



That's the best pic I could find, but this car in person looks frikin mean. It's slammed, big rims, big brakes, and sounds pretty good. I think when some modified 3s start poping up (I'm guessing with some grille inserts, a-la-subaru kits) it'll be less of an issue.

Whatever though. I applaud mazda for taking a bold design step, when other manufaturers are playing it safe with design, competing directly with one another by being exactly the same. I thought we liked Mazda for those crazy and wacky ideas?

When you see the car in person, you really don't see the smile in the front end of the new MS3.
