Is that new or used? I saw a first gen MazdaSpeed3 in a Mazda dealership with a sticker price of over 30k USD.

I saw the new speed3 today, and personally I thought it was ugly as crap, couldve just been the color choice (black)...The hood scoop is WAY too big!

I think the new look will grow on me. I liked the styling of the last body too, but I have to say that the new MS3 drives even better than the previous. Crazy boost!!
