Without going into enough detail to break the rules I just want to say that the revised 2008.5 Mazda3s are in Minnesota, and they look awesome!!

? I'm guessing this is a salesman from a dealership ? And don't they look the same as every other 3 on the road? :D Get your dealership to be a sponsor and lets chat terms and opportunity!

They do look the same on the exterior except for the new colors available. They are Stormy Blue, Metropolitan Gray, Copper Red (makes a return), Golden Sand, and Crystal White replaces Cosmic Blue on the Speed3.

Interior changes are piano black finish on 2.3 models, white needles on the instrument panel, alcantara inserts on the Speed3 GT, power driver's seat on Grand Touring (not Speed3), and a few other minor things.

One of the best things is that the iTouring now comes standard with the safety package, and is actually lower in price. It also now comes with fog lights and leather wrapped knob and wheel.

Even cooler is that all 6CD in-dashes are now MP3 compatible.

I'll see what I can do about the sponsoring!

If you want to shoot me a PM, I have a couple questions for ya. I have heard the trade-in value on the used 3s is very high. My car only has 13.5k on it, but I was considering buying another new one this summer.

I know JHow and referred him here. Yes, hes a salesman, but he has always been great to me. Whether a sponsorship can be worked out or not, I'm sure he'd take care of you well.

LOL. No. I was just thinking that if I can get into another new car for the same payment I make now, I may as well. But, I may just wait until the warranty expires on this thing.

Those of you interested in the alcantara seats, I have a proposition of sorts for yous.

I was at the dealership today, and apparently there aren't going to be any Metro Gray Sports around when I'm buying my car. I want Metro Gray, but don't really want a GT. Would either one of you be interested in trading the driver and passenger seats from your speed3s for those from a brand new '08.5 GT if I were to buy one? I would need some money to make up the difference of trading your used cloth/leather seats for my new alcantara/leather seats. I'm not set on a number, but maybe we can work something out.
