When are they actually gonna start selling this thing in the states? They don't even have pricing on their website yet.

Likely Summer/Spring.


A handful of demos are making their way to dealers already.

[CaminoRacer]

So technically they're 2019 1/2

[12,000 RPM]

Mazda loves the 1/2! They would do 1/4s if they could.

A number of local dealerships are listing them as in stock on their website(s) but perhaps they're just en route. Assuming the power numbers hold true, I think a Skyactive-X AWD hatch will be perfect for the wife.

Do we have final MPG numbers?

[HurricaneSteve]

Sadly none as of yet.

How does a Mazda 3 start at damn $21K?

Even worse, a manual is 28k.

For the sedan? Blehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The hatch will be like 30.

Go back like 3 pages in this thread

I think mostly because it has a relatively upscale interior for the class. Mazda is kind of trying to market themselves as premium mainstream or something.

It's not really that crazy. Civic and Corolla both start at $19.5k. Golf starts at $21.9k.

Oh.

yeah, I actually posted on that page

No manual option on the sedan. Only on premium FWD hatch, which, according to C&D, will be $28,395.

OK, I can get behind that. My dad's 3 hatch had a MSRP of 27, but he got it for 23.5, which is a pretty nice price for the quality of the car he got.

A hatchback Civic turbo is 23k

I really like this new Mazda3.  I don't think I could pull the trigger on it until they release the SkyActiveX though.

... and is only available with a manual transmission in one trim level.

+1. It'd be on my test drive list along with the WRX and Si if I were actually ready to buy soon.

And it's equipped exactly how I want it.

Si would be perfect in hatch form

[BimmerM3]

The Civic sedan is the only body style I like.

When I first saw the new Civic in photos I thought it was hideous, but in person it's not so bad. I almost like the sedan.

+1. The front end isn't the prettiest thing in the world, and the fake bumper vents are kinda silly, but overall I think it looks fairly good.

I definitely prefer the sedan's rear end to both the coupe and hatch though. The coupe is OK, but I don't like the hatchback's rear end at all.
