When do we see the sedan? I'm hoping the price bump isn't too significant since that interior looks very high quality. Mazda needs to be careful with that. Too much of a price bump will have people turning right back to the Toyotas and Hondas.

On another train of thought... I wonder how this "family face" may translate to a new RX7 or MX5. Personally I think the new 3 and 6 look fantastic with the new Headlight/Grill.

Stuff your Hemis! Forget your Chevrolet Corvettes! Let the Ford F-150 King Ranches languish on dealer lots, because the Mazdaspeed 3 is fun, scary, flawed and thrilling all at once -- traits that the modern manly man should seek out in a motor vehicle.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
Anyone seen a published weight? If 200lbs lighter than current it should be somewhere between 2666lbs and 2903lbs.
One less good change, "More traditional interior improvements come in the form of a larger driver's seat cushion.." Yea, just what we need in a sporty car - more seat to slide around in

This looks like a trick ride, too bad it's a bit off compared to cars like the "here now" Focus ST and "almost here" Fiesta ST. I'll never understand why companies don't lead new car intros with their best stuff. Video of the Ford twins against this or that hothatch or the twins shows just how good these cars can be. Economy car owner are suddenly getting the good stuff! So to be in the competition right now is eveything, and probably why Mazda did an reveal now. The market is heating up. I hope Mazda doesn't bring to the party a slightly late and underpowered car with great handling, again. Waiting on some unknown future is tough.

The MK7 GTI is the new benchmark for hot hatches. Yes, eliminating the Focus ST all while being just as quick but definitely more polished.
Mazda's formula for the MS3 have always leaned towards power rather than handling, though it is a poor handling car by any means. Much like a FWD muscle car.

I think it has been PS from Mazda official 3 Hatch image, look at background.

This. I was actually thinking of using the exact pic to photoshop into a sedan since it was just perfect for the application... Then I got lazy and someone probably got a **** ton of credit doing it.

12% sales gain in June thanks to the CX-5, new 6, and revised CX-9. More when the new 3 comes out in the fall?

Here are some more pictures of the new 3, including the sedan revealed properly for public consumption. Another Russian leak, not surprisingly.

Not bad. I hate the way the back end looks on the current 3. New one looks much better.

WOW again...This is a great looking 3 Sedan.
Mazda are on another winner here...just look what they can do without Ford telling them what they 'should' do.
Looks so much better than the all new Nissan (called Pulsar here or Tiida) and Cruise.
This has class and quality.
BTW: Guess what the updated CX-5 and 6 will have in dashes next year...
What everyone hates the look of now.

Yep...
Mazda Japan are shipping and also limiting 6 stocks to where they can gross the most out of, plus by restricting supply artificially or just because of demand in the US means discounting is not needed, hence better margins for dealers, frankly IMO I think it is a stupid system of retailing for cars, why should a car cost more because it is in demand...again IMO goes against proper consumer rights where I live, but I get the idea, just don't like it, I prefer to have a set price which does not fluctuate because of new demand...a car is after all a new product, not a used one or a used property.
Anyway, ....until Mexico opens next year supply everywhere is going to be an issue.
As 'car and driver' recent article just said, ''doom & doom'' fro Mazda, I say BS...
Even in Europe Mazda are starting to out pace other brands in a dead market.
It is a great problem to have.
Apart from China's/Japan political issues, China sales are down over 30% YTY.
