CHECK OUT THE FULL SPY ARTICLE: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/GeneralFuture/articleId=134786 You've already seen the 2010 Mazda 3 sedan, and now you can check out the Mazdaspeed version of the hatchback model. Our spy shooters caught this prototype of the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 as it hot-lapped the Nürburgring wearing only minimal disguise. Like the sedan, the hatchback gets a front fascia similar to the larger Mazda 6 sedan. Larger headlights are the most obvious change, although the unique shape of the front airdam is hard to miss. It appears to draw some inspiration from Mazda's recent concept vehicles, but it may be there to disguise the true shape. The profile doesn't appear to have changed much. A slightly reworked rear wing is clearly visible, while the greenhouse looks a little like an Audi A4, which is not a bad thing. In back, the rear window now has Mazda's signature five-point design and the rear fascia appears more aggressive than before, with large cutouts for the dual exhausts. Given its sizable hood scoop, we're guessing the Mazdaspeed 3 will continue to use a turbocharged four-cylinder like the current model. A lack of power has never been the Mazdaspeed 3's problem, so look for most of the improvements to be geared toward improved traction. All-wheel drive has been rumored as a possible remedy, but Inside Line has learned that the car will remain front-wheel drive. With the debut of the 2010 Mazda 3 scheduled for the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show in November, look for the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 sometime early next year, with sales beginning by the fall.

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX vs. 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 by Inside Line
For Edmunds' Inside Line article: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=121942 Sport compacts have it hard. Cars like the 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX and the 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 — along with competitors like the Honda Civic Si, Mini Cooper S and Volkswagen GTI — are expected to do mutually contradictory things with something approaching perfection. They're supposed to be quick but economical; athletic but comfortable; sporty but practical. Oh yeah, and they can't cost a lot. Go ahead and dream the impossible dream.

Mazdaspeed 3 @ 2009 Geneva Auto Show
MORE GENEVA MOTOR SHOW @ INSIDELINE.COM: http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/autoshows/geneva/2009/2010mazdaspeed3teaservideonews.html Mazda is getting ready to unveil its 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 at the upcoming 2009 Geneva Auto Show, and has released a teaser video previewing the sporty hatch. Mazda will introduce the high-performance version of the Mazda 3 five-door on the morning of March 3 in Geneva. The new 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 is expected to go on sale in the U.S. in late summer or early fall, Mazda spokesman Jeremy Barnes told Inside Line. The Mazdaspeed 3 is loaded with aggressive styling and a direct-injection 2.3-liter turbocharged engine, but still has the functionality and cabin space of a five-door hatch. It joins the Mazda 3 four- and five-door models to round out the 2010 Mazda 3 lineup. Check out the high-energy video of the hatch hitting the dangerous twisties on the coast of California.
