I stick with my Pu.

Do we know for sure there is going to be a 2014 MS3? I have been lurking on here for sometime; if it turns out that there isn't going to be a 2014 I will buy a MS3 now. Don't want to buy if there is an awesome 2014 coming, I plan to keep the car 5 years or longer...

There is going to be a 2014 Speed 3, it is the last halo car Mazda has, after scrapping Mazdaspeed Miata, MS6 and RX8. They have to keep something, otherwise the whole zoom-zoom gig that they have spent fortunes in building goes bye-bye.

[Haltech]

Mazda is a weird company. They just show up 90 days from delivery stating they have a mazdaspeed model of a certain car. They do absolutely no marketing or commercials for them either.

Mazda needs to follow Ford with how they splattered the ST all over the media circuit. Top Gear USA did give the Genpu good props last week though.

The gen 2 had spy shots published back in October 2008 being tested at the N'Ring in Germany.

I've been told by our DISTRICT manager that the latest "official" news was that there is NO 2014 MS3, and an MS6 is a possibility right now, not confirmed. That was a couple weeks ago.

In addition to being the district manager, he also gets demo cars before their final revisions for testing purposes to drive around. So his word must hold SOME water.

You are only confirming what I already suspect; I am thinking that I will (finally) get a MS3 this year. I have only wanted to get one for the past 3 years; I love my RX8 but it is time for something different. I need more space and just had to have an engine replacement only had 2000 miles left on my warranty

[Lex]

2013 is the last year of the current MS3. The next MS3 will follow after the regular 3 so it's 2-3 years out at least.

[timjs]

@Lex; could you please give your source?

I was told a different story from our rep 2 weeks ago. He said the mazdaspeed line will continue and said when it is released it will be 6-8 months after the redesigned 3. Which is exactly what they did with the genpu.

I was also told at the regional cx-5 walk around competition that diesel is what they were focusing on as a possibility-almost 8 months ago.

When we had the 2014 Mazda 6. Training the trainer said the 6 platform was not set up to support awd and there would NOT be a speed6.

What region are you in?

They are going to have a Speed 2 and Speed CX-9 for 2014. You heard it here first.

Southeast. Greg something is the district manager. He replaced Brent not too long ago. Maybe a year?

Ah. I think that's all any of this is.
The fact of the matter is, some Jap dudes make the call, and no one really knows what Mazda will do next. I didn't think they'd kill off the rotaries in North America again, but that happened.

[ASmith]

I guess we will know something soon enough...it was about October last year when we had info about the 2013.

[Lex]

What I wrote was from Japan - we'll see if it's true.

Mazdaspeed 2 in light of the Fiesta St. Which will leave a nice power gap for them to release an rx7.

[Darth_Nuruodo]

Def won't be an ms2, since this is the last year for the 2 in the us as well, that was announced last year.

Tapa who tapa wha??

Yep mazda 2 demoted to scrap heap. Gone.

[zmarko]

I hate the trend of the side-view mirrors coming up from the door midway down the door, instead of where the leading edge of the window meets the door. The new Imprezza has it, and it looks like the new 3 is going to have it. Looks cheap and out of place.

[Lex]

I don't think the Fiesta ST will sell well here. It's only 2k cheaper than a Focus ST which is already priced too high and it's not cool enough for that kind of pricing. It would need a real LSD, over 200hp and some real brakes.

[PushingRedline]

So went to Cleveland Auto show last night. Talked to the head guy in the Mazda area...asked about Speed series continuing. He said that from what he has heard, it won't be a 3. He also said they are thinking about a Speed 6 but it's just that, nothing in stone. Also said that it is possible to have AWD in the new 6 but thats still up in the air as well. Take it for what it's worth.

to be fair, the mazda rep at phila auto show said the speed3 had 220 hp. the only thing to do is wait. it would be silly for mazda to drop the speeds altogether; honestly i have faith in them.

it doesn't have to be anything new as long as it comes out even if it is the same it will drop prices down on the 13 that's all need

Let's look at this from a practical point of view. Currently what is Mazda racing in Grand-Am in the Rolex GX Class? After a few ocnversations with the father of the Mazdaspeed Program, Todd Kanenko Mada is leaning toward the new 6, as per John Doonan of Mazdaspeed always says, "we race what we sell". The Speed 3 has been production for 6 years now, which is 4 years longer that any other Speed vehicle. With Mazda trying to get its CAFE Standards for mileage up, so it can bring back the rotary it stands to reason we'll be looking at a turbo version of the 6.

That's a 2013. So the only price dropping is the 2012's

I don't know where you guys get your sources of info from but the Mazdaspeed division of Mazda is going bye bye.
A buddy of mine from Mazda Corporate in Irvine told me last Nator meet. Asian kid that didn't stay too long at the meet oddly. He's on MSF, but I don't know his SN.

I think we will have a turbo charged Mazda3, but not badged "Mazdaspeed"
