Gen 3 - Confirmed by the dealer

[Godzilla]

Went to the dealer to drop off my car this morning, and got an update from them that the body styling for Gen 3 has been confirmed - it will resemble the CX-5, just like all their upcoming models. The engine specs have not been confirmed by Mazda, but one of the considerations is a 2.5 DSI Turbo in the vicinity of 300hp. Concept pic is below, that's the body they have confirmed.

In b4 2.5 DISI swaps start becoming a popular mod.

I hope we don't blow too many engines in the first years.....

[dereeek]

more important, what are we going to call the new guys who come here with gen 3's? (example: genwon & genpoo)

[Mase]

Gentre

[Sid3wayS]

There was a thread started in the lady few days about an email sent out to dealerships about no '14 MS3.. This happens a lot with car companies and with do many rumors going around I'm just not sure what to believe until it happens.

Tapa' what?

Another good car, ruined

^This. there's literally been 1000 threads that started "the dealer says.." and none of them have been true. Don't hold your breath on this one.

But my dealer said it would have an option of a Subaru AWD system. Why would they lie to me? I already gave them a non-refundable $3,000 deposit for it...

[Tokay444]

My dealer told me my turbo wasn't water cooled.
I haven't been back.

^You can see those spyshots on autoblog. Look a the head and tail lights shapes. They look thinner. Honestly the rear reminds me of a lancer sportback kinda.

if they were to make a AWD verison that means the whole chasis will have to change and i dont think they will redo a chasis. to redo that it will make the car cost even more. the MS3 is cheaper then the wrx sti for a reason. that reason is to steal there business. there been romurs of awd ms3 its not going to happen just get yourself the new ms6 when it comes out

[Socal Ms3]

Ewww. I just threw up a little bit. This makes the Genpoo looks glorious!

I was being a jackass.

Turd-gen

I am liking my happy ass car more after seeing that pic. Looks like a CX-5 rear ended a Ford fusion with a genpu body line on the doors. Fuck what a stealership says. I learned more with a couple drinks on this forum than what the dealer knew before I bought the speed.

Even dumber.

[Bromodo Dragon]

I like the profile of it. Reminds me of a BMW M coupe. I love the hatchback with a long hood. The car needs more to pull it out of the econo-hatch mold that every company is using. My biggest concern is the chance mazda will pinch some pennies and build the new 3 on the current C1 chassis. Would be great to have a CX-5 chassis where the new speed can drop some fat .

^^^this looks like
this

[Cheapspeed]

If that's what the 3rd gen looks like I'm going to be jealous I didn't hold out.

Then again, if I bought a new one I wouldn't have much money, or the choice, or the library of knowledge on hand to modify it for a while.

[Tokay444]

Don't worry. There isn't going to be a speed.

[Lex]

The MS3 version of the gen3 won't be out for a few years. The next MS car to be released is a halo car MS6, AWD, 2.5DISI turbo. Likely going to be 2 door coupe. Expect it to be a 2015 model.

[Darth_Nuruodo]

My vote was always for turd (third) gen. I am not really big on the look personally, I like my pu even over gen done.

Tapa who tapa wha??

LOOKS GAY! it does make me glad i have a genpuu though. they keep getting worse as gen goes up i guess (genwon looks best :0 wish i couldve gotten one sometimes). i thought they were goin to make a new mazdaspeed 6 ): i like way the new mazda6 looks. not enough power though. needs to compete with ford fusion with a disi turbo with like 320hp >

[kritz]

I think it should be called the rectum.

[msantana101]

The dealer has also told me that the ms3 is twin turbo. I would take what they say with a grain of salt.

[forcedinduktion]

I read on Corksports blog that a patent was found for a super+turbo charged mazda engine.... Maybe thats what the dealer was talking about. Highly doubt it though... Only time will tell
