Nice looking car but a bit awkward

rubber_ducky · 02-03-2009, 07:50 AM

280hp FWD!

The styling is dodge neon v2.

vAnt826 · 02-03-2009, 09:27 AM

Where do you see 280hp?

I see the same old engine.

///Mandy · 02-03-2009, 10:28 AM

Interesting....

Styling totally reminds me of a Peugeot:

BMWJZ4 · 02-03-2009, 10:31 AM

idk why it reminds me of the front of a citroen c1.

san~man · 02-03-2009, 11:27 AM

The car is smiling, rofl. The article states 268HP, where'd you get 280?

DougLikesBMW · 02-03-2009, 11:35 AM

Odd looking...

i think he saw it from a comment someone made saying they heard it was going to be 280hp

Scorpion · 02-03-2009, 12:18 PM

It does look like it's smiling, must be excited about something lol.

ptack · 02-03-2009, 01:04 PM

MEH - I like the current design, it's clean and understated. This looks like they want to make a ricer for the masses, which now means big hood scoop. Lame.

03SG///M3 · 02-03-2009, 02:38 PM

I like it... except for the FWD, i bet its fun to drive. Now all they need to make is a new RX-8 Mazdaspeed.

Mazdaspeed 8 won't probably be sold at dealers... From what i remember w/ my rx8, they just sold mazdaspeed components to the 8, but never released a true MS8 model...?

That new MS3 screams Peugeout -- or however the heck you spell it.

Year's_End · 02-03-2009, 03:52 PM

Looks good to me. It's a press photo, so it always has a different feel than a real life photo. It might be a touch too smiley for me though.

The current MS3 looks great. It's understated and clean. This new design is a bit more cluttered, but it does make the current model look cheap in comparison.

Deda · 02-03-2009, 04:38 PM

i dont like it..no,no!

wuufer001 · 02-03-2009, 05:08 PM

it has really got a big smile there

Raja Ventureshield · 02-03-2009, 05:30 PM

For what it will cost new, i rather have an used e90/e92 instead.

TSM330i · 02-04-2009, 06:46 PM

The article said around 268hp, not 280hp.

Not bad looking. I'll wait to see what it looks like in real life before I judge.

those exhaust tips look bigger than the 335i's

IrateSpeed6 · 08-10-2009, 07:59 PM

Is this a joint-project between Mazda and Subaru? Looks like is shares the same unibody and front fenders with the STi
