Mazda Keeps Pricing Steady On 2010 Speed3

When you're in hot pursuit of trend-setting enthusiasts, you can't afford to let your looks slip, especially in the automotive world.

The car gets better, newer, and Mazda keeps the price the same. Brilliant strategy, it will keep demand up and residual values high. Try that with a Cobalt SS.

If you are the authority then why dont you know that the Mazda's that you like so much share their platforms with the Ford's you hate so much? I also like mazda but I know you hate anything Americian and will not be happy until we make nothing in this countrie except what our Asian overlords allow us to make.

The Mazda3 remains a perennial favorite in the small car ranks. I have a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 in my garage, its a venerable touring hatch with plenty of performance, especially with the upgraded intake and exhaust, putting out a robust 300hp/300tq.

[joe]

Yes I love the 3 great car but you hate the Fords built with alot of the same parts. 300 hp not bad don't you know Mazda and Ford were tied at the hip for a long time and used alot of the same parts. At one time Ford sent some of it executives to Japan to save the failing Mazda.If you dont think this is true look it up.Ford still has a small stake in Mazda.So you can thank Ford and Mazda for your 3.

[The Authority]

I understand that they collaborated on many things, Ford owned a minority stake in Mazda for a long time, however the 2.3L engine was always under Mazda design control. The 2.3L DISI engine is the real gem of the Mazdaspeed 3.

Ford should have built a platform mate in the U.S. to the Mazda3, as the Fusion is of much lower standards.

[joe]

Much lower standards lol it is built on the same platform as the Mazda 6. So your saying the 3 is great but the 6 is bad. Mazda doesen't make any bad cars. They are good looking,fun to drive and reliable.

[The Authority]

The Mazda3 is a better car than the Ford Fusion. End of discussion.

[joe]

End of discussion. Well it the Authority said it then the Discussion must stop now. I do like the 3 but it did loose to the Fusion in the coty contest. You can never say anything good about anything made by an America company. Your views are outdated.Open your eyes and liberate your mind you might just see some good cars made by Ford and GM. Yes they had some problems in the past they were arrogant and smug a long time ago.they made alot of their own problems in the past. Mostly trying to keep the prices down to compete with the lower priced imports. Now they are on a more even keel so they can put more money in the car.Anyway congradulation Mazda great car as always. Fun to drive reliable and priced well. I don't really like the styling this year but some people probably will.

Anyone who would actually see anything in a Mazda 3 must seriously have problems in judging cars. It has pathetic suspension (the best way of describing it is like being in a car with empty tires) and plus the design as simply disgusting.
I can't be bothered arguing with your ridiculus stereotypical liberal opinion, so I'll just leave it at that.

[Jake-Chevylevy]

Just so you know... Mazda can't build pickups, so they just use rebadged Fords (the Ranger is an example of this)
Suggesting that Mazda had greater power in the deal with Ford is incorrect and is simply a mere distortion.

[The Authority]

Mazda3 continues to dominate its class and enjoys great resale value, especially in 5-door guise.
