    The exact power # that it'll have in the 3 is as of yet unannounced, but be assured it'll be less than 274...

    Werd, needs AWD like the 323 GTX of Mazda's former glory.

    srivendel: It's like America has finally hit the craze that has been in Europe, Australia, and Japan for a while. Honda has the Civic Si Sedan coming out in October, Dodge has their sport-wagon replacement for the SRT-4, the arrival of the MazdaSpeed 3... I just hope more fun cars keep on arriving. I dare to say it's almost like a time warp back to 1990 when sports cars were cheap and plentiful.
