RE: anyone hear about speed3 sedan? - 11/30/2007 8:41:34 AM    icspots Posts: 898 Joined: 5/31/2006 Status: offline There is no MS3 sedan.  Mazda wouldn't do that since it would directly compete with the MS6.... even though that's being discontinued.  There are pics floating around of a 3 sedan with a mazdaspeed body kit on it.  I'm pretty sure that came out before the MS3 though.  It's not turboed, so it's not a real speed3. _____________________________ Mods to come: ????

By the time I'm ready for a Speed3, they will be gone.        Enjoy it while ya' can, SPeeDy! _____________________________ "There is no tool you can buy that will replace experience." - Josh Mills, C.K.DeLuxe (in reply to SPeeDy3) Post #: 13

RE: anyone hear about speed3 sedan? - 12/1/2007 8:43:41 AM    UrbanmanUSA Posts: 556 Joined: 2/19/2007 Status: offline I also tend to beat the EPA numbers, especially if I can get on the highway and set the cruise control.   Point remains that most buyers consider the EPA numbers (I know I did) when deciding.  When the Civic and Corolla can put out better EPA numbers, it certainly helps their marketing.  I decided I preferred the M3s handling and looks enough to choose it despite the inferior EPA numbers, but not everyone will make that choice. _____________________________ If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. - George Orwell (in reply to Siber Express) Post #: 20
