Did you make sure to write down the deer's info so you can turn it in to your insurance company so they can go after it in court?

[Dre]

if its totaled and you have gap insurance and can start out fresh.. do the right thing and get a used gen1 or ms6.. you'll be happier

Hey, if your insurance company totals the car out, ask them what it would cost to retain the salvage. I may be interested.

Good luck. I think the chances are good that they will total it. Just bitch and complain if they don't. Eventually they will fold.

[dgkitchens]

So it turns out they are going to most likely total the MS3. The question now is what color. Red, Black, or Silver. Sorry to all the Gen2 haters but i like it so im going Gen2.

Black Mica FTW

actually makes the genpuu look better

[jonspeed3]

Always hit the animal. ALWAYS.

As stated nows your chance to get out. Go for Mustang 5.0/Sti/Evo/BMW 135/335/ just to name a few.

[doubleflusher]

more cars out there with more potential.

[Elusivellama]

Get red, key the crap out of it and get it repainted GM white under insurance.




In case anyone wonders about this obscure reference, search for "All messed up"

You didn't get the color you wanted the first time?

[tddvrrn]

go black! red is too needy, silver too bland.

[Stapleface]

What about Celestial blue? I think that might be the best color, but what do I know? If I had to pick of three you mentioned, I would probably go with black, even though it's a PITA to keep clean.

[9900rpm]

Silver.

Easy to take care of. Stays clean when dirty. Scratches don't show.

OR, wait to see if they bring out white for 2012.

If not white then Black, can't go wrong with black

[dachtler]

So sorry to hear about the crash. I'm glad that the Mazda did its job and protected both of you.

I'm personally biased towards red, as black gets much hotter and is a bitch to keep clean. However, I agree that white would be awesome on this car, and that Mazda needs to add that as a color option.

[Elusivellama]

I vote silver too, it looks sleek because of the lines on the body, easy to maintain and manages to blend in with herd but still looks good on its own.

[grbarajas]

fuck Bambi

[JS + MS3]

Wait for the white one!!!!

[dgkitchens]

I like the white but 1) i like other colors more and 2) I am in a rental car and need to get a car.

[speedster325]

Go silver or go home.

[JS + MS3]

Black Mica then

[bscar]

black hides the smiley face better

A note to all GenPu drivers:

When faced with the difficult decision whether to hit the deer or swerve, remember that you have a hood scoop and an intercooler, and ask yourself, "Do I feel hungry?"

Why?

Assuming you hit the animal at a good angle/speed, at least part of it is going to end up in that hood scoop, cooking on that intercooler. Since you'll have some time on your hands waiting for the towtruck/firetruck/ambulance/flight-for-life, at least you'll have some medium rare venison to munch on while turning that GenPu smile upside down.

[dgkitchens]

So I am picking up a red MS3 Gen Pu (bring it haters). In a few days.

Mazda South?

[Special--k]

i personally dont understand how so many members of this forum hate mazdaspeeds... Why do you guys come here... if you hate so much?

[adlpb]

I don't think it's hate. I just think they bought an MS3 and then realized that there's more potential in the AWD field. Some people don't realize that the MS3 and Sti/EvoX are not in the same price range at all, unless you want a used car.

Most of the hate here goes towards genpus

[dgkitchens]

I don't understand either. If you don't like gen twos then stay off of the gen 2 section. I wouldn't buy the car if I didnt think it was the right choice.

[ZipprSuitdSungod]

Red Gen2....good choice.

[dgkitchens]

Picked up my new ms3 today. 2011 Velocity Red with 500 miles on it.

[Willofalltrades]

Nice!

Animosity between car generations is always there when anything changes, no matter how trivial. In the s2000 crowds it's AP1 vs AP2.

Car enthusiasts are a possessive breed and defend their territory fiercely, expect it no matter what the brand or crowd.
