Mazda plans call for a three-door, wagon and convertible 3, and MazdaSpeed, MPS and all-wheel-drive versions available by the end of calendar year 2005.

+ the same versions for the mazda6. looks like good times for mazda. now if they would just straighten out their dealerships, they could sell a shitload of cars

or you could look at it the other way round lensman. perhaps it will increase the perceived value of the 3 for the price. "wow it's got some of the same cool stuff as the rx-8 that i just looked at but can't afford! "

It's VERY common for items for the Halo car to trickle down into the lower priced models. Especially styling cues. Immitation is the best form of flatery.
Everybody wants the real thing, but most can not afford it.
