Hope renewed for a 2016 MazdaSpeed 3 - Torque News
How would a 300 HP, AWD version of the Mazda3 work for you. If this is the car you have been dreaming about as your Gen 1 or Gen 2 MazdaSpeed3 grows long in the tooth, you may not have long to wait according to a report out of Australia. Mazda of course killed off the Speed3 in 2013 when it launched the Gen3 Mazda3 we now know and love as a 2014 model year car. au says that the New Speed3 would have a turbocharged 2. 5-liter four-cylinder engine making 220kW of power, so we rounded up to 300 horsepower.

Our test Mazda3 Grand Touring had an MSRP of $ 26,140. Are buyers in the US willing to shell out $32K for a MazdaSpeed3. With a loaded Ford Focus ST carrying a $29K price point according to its on-line configurator, it seems possible for Mazda to sell some Speed3s in the low $30K range. I have owned two Mazda Speed3's and enjoyed both. " What's up Mazda. Source: www.torquenews.com
