Me too. I bought a 2008.5 Mazda 3s GT sedan in June. If I knew they were going to release it so soon I would have waited. Oh well, I guess I can wait a few years to get the new one.

YES, I just saw the US version on the Mazda US site, you were right on the Eur version being different from the US ver., I saw the dual pipes, awesome… I wish I didn't get my 2008 3 months ago…

Well, I wouldn't say awful, but definitely not as aggressive as the 4dr, I hope they address that in the Speed. Compare to Honda, Mazda definitely has the design edge, the new Civic looks like a frog with its mouth wide open.

Hmmm….. interesting, I hope that's the case… otherwise it'd be injustice to the hatch. I hope they really spice it up in the Speed, but I'm really looking forward to the pedal shifters.

I'm wondering this as well but I suspect the photos are deceiving on the U.S. exhaust setup because the photos are of the European 2.2-Liter diesel Mazda 3 hatchback. There is still a possibility that the U.S. model will get a dual exhaust.

what happened the twin tail pipes like the sedan?? Mazda might have dropped the ball on this one, since the hatch is more sportier anyways…. I hope they make the Speed with dual pipe and pedal shifters.
