Nice... looks like Mazda is getting into the rally car wars. 274hp, 280 lb-ft of torque out of a turbo 2.3, full-time awd with a limited slip rear differential, and much more subtle looking than the boy racer STi and Evo. Too bad I probably can't afford it - this would make a great OTM!
I've got to give Mazda some credit. They've been on a roll over the last two years with the 6, RX-8, and the 3. I can't wait to see what's in store over the next couple of years with the Miata, Mazdaspeed versions of the 6, RX-8, and 3, and... maybe a new RX-7? We can only hope!

still pretty cool, but I *REALLY* wish they'd have put that driveline in the 3, THAT would have been cooler...

I may be the only one...but I *REALLY* don't like the 3. I think it looks like a Kia. Eww.
