I’ll be buying one of these in black .. should help hide the black smiley face grill… eewww

I like everything else about the car… fingers crossed we get some better fuel consumption figures… Ohh and hope is comes with cruise control as an option…

Could be the intercooler behind the left side vent.

Is that the radiator tucked behind the left side vent in the 4th photo?

Great looking little cars.

hopefully the SP looks a bit more aggressive. Also, hopefully they retain the blacked out rear lights for the SP instead of those mazda 6 style chromed lights…which are totally out of date anyway.

i still think the crease on the side doors doesn’t look right.

There are some very subtle differences with the hatch interior compared to the sedan interior.
Interesting.
Also will the hatch has due exuast outlets like the sedan?

I think this maybe my next vehicle, like you Garry i think the 3 is one of the best all round vehicle currently available.
I’ve driven all the others too, focus matches and exceeds the handling dynamics of the 3′s but for build and asthetics, the focus can’t match the 3.

Mazda Australia are trying to push the release date forward to early ’09, good idea too.

Why is mazda teasing us like this showing what the next 3 will be and then saying will be available around June? The first SP25 I see at my local Mazda dealer it is mine.The best looking car on the road just got better.
