Panjjj, there hasn't been an announcement about the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 from Mazda yet but based on Mazda's past with the Mazdaspeed series we expect it to be manual only.

Jeff, it's true. The 2.5L will put out 167 hp and 168 lb-ft torque. http://mazda3revolution.com/mazda3-guide/2010-maz...

Too bad the horsepower stated above at 167 for the 2.5 litre is true. I was told 185 by my dealer and that was a real selling point for me. I hope 167 is not true –can anyone confirm this?

Will there be an automatic option (with paddles)?

Probably only a rumour but a dealer told me he heard that Mazda was considering a awd system in the Mazdaspeed 3 but cost and weight were issues that would probably nix that possibility. That would be awesome if it did happen.

Hopefully, the 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 will feature the motor from the upcoming Focus RS. Mazda confirmed that the engines will be the 2.0L and the 2.5L 4 cylinder. The 2.5L turbo of about 300 hp with the Ford RevoKnuckle FWD suspension will be able to control all that power.
