The MAZDA3i and the MAZDA3s 4-Doors are also on their way and should arrive in 4 to 6 weeks (or less).
I would buy it right now, but I'm waiting for some colors to show up. They are being very tight on showing us what phantom blue or purple looks like. The dealer can't even show me the new colors on paper on online. I've searched myself and can only see gray. Anyone have a spot to see these new colors?
Thanks
-Thor
Phantom Purple I believe is the replacement for Strato Blue, I have yet to see the color. On the Mazda color sheet, it looks like a plum, or a raisin.
Aurora Blue is very close to the Lapis Blue found on 2003-2006 Mazda6.
Galaxy Gray is on the 06 MX-5, 07 CX-7. Dealers should have those in stock.
True Red is found on the 06 MX-5
Ice Blue is also found on the CX-7, your local dealer may or may not have that in stock.
Crystal White is the replacement for White Water Pearl.
Can anyone confirm this?
The regular sedan or hatchback should use regular fuel.
thx

-click on "News from Mazda" from dropdown menu

-Click "Product" tab along the top

I clicked on Mazda 3 and a page came up with into titled "2007 Mazda Mazda 3 Overview"
I am still waiting for NEW information on the Mazda website.
Anyone know if they will charge extra for the white as they did on the 06? Dealers unwilling to answer that one.
Here is my question/concern: We are ready to buy but the problem is color. I, and especially my wife, do not like metallic colors. And the Mazda micas are ultra metallic looking. (I know, we're the minority, most love metallic.) Are there any colors besides the true red that are not metallic? We'd buy this instant if we could find a regular white or black. It's important enough to my wife that it could kill the whole deal and send us looking at a Honda Fit again--despite the fact that they are adding a grand to the MSRP(trying to add $2K.) Or, we might look at a 2005 model.
Any suggestions?
So - sounds like they are hitting the dealerships - I'm in No. Ca. I understand they have a plant in Irvine, Ca. so we may be seeing them a little earlier here on the West coast.
I asked this a couple of posts above this: Is there any non-metallic color in the '07s besides the true red? (true red, by the way, is not even close to true red. Its orange-red. Better name would be tomato red.)
I know there is metallic pearl white that can be had for extra $, but isn't there just a plain white?
How can Mazda not offer just white?!
How can Mazda not offer just white?!
I beleive if you get the Mazda3 i you can get Rally White. No charge paint, not metallic or mica.
Sorry, I was not specific with my question. I want a non-metallic, non-mica in the 2007 Mazda3 S hatchback. Has anybody seen or heard of what, if any, colors are offered in 2007 that are not metallic?
Does it ever happen that a car company adds colors before next model year?
Also, do you want to sell your 2005 or 06 Mazda 3 in say, rally white?! Or black?!
I want to make a single figure (OTD)out-the-door offer and let the dealer distribute the amount of the check to whatever "fees" or "actual price of the car" that he wants to. I'm not wanting to get into the negotiate this/negotiate that.
Facts are I have about 8 accessories / options (i.e. moonroof, rear wing spoiler) I want added that total about $1,700 at invoice cost.
So we're at:
$19,275 MSRP (Mazda 3s Touring 4-dr. A/T)
$ 1,700 Accessories (invoice)
$ 560 Destination
--------
$21,535
So, considering all the fees they try to add, plus holdback and dealer's incentives and "secret" profit they may get, plus the fact I want the car for as little cost to me as possible, but a REASONABLE, FAIR profit for the dealer, WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A FAIR o-t-d OFFER??
I may have to order my specific car as there are few on the lets already. Any advice on the ordering procedure?? (deposit, etc.)
I would appreciate several replies, from both shoppers, buyers AND dealers. Thanks in advance.
Wrong information. Crystal white is a pearl paint and it's $200.
I hate to break it to you, but, you ARE looking for a rare car. All dealers custom order all their inventory, with the acecption of a few gimmies from the port, and I can tell you that a white Mazda3 is rare. Not many dealers order them.
In MY 2006, I had to locate a Mazda3 GT in Whitewater pearl and the closest was 300 miles away, and this was in the winter. So, Mazda3 supply was plentiful then.
The '06 5-spokers, on the other hand, looked great. Why did Mazda have to RUIN a good thing? Ditto on the 'mesh' grill replacing the slat grill for '07 for much of the Mazda3 lineup. Looks especially like a styling downgrade on the 5-door!
Boo Mazda, you're making me eye Civics and Fits again. And all you had to do was leave the (great) styling and wheels alone. I guess if it ain't broke, break it. :sick:
I don't mind the MazdaSpeed3 lookin' great. I just wish they hadn't made the 5-door S look worse to make the MS3 look better.
On the plus side, I do agree with you about the Galaxy Gray.
The Mazda web site is now set for someone to build a model. It is interesting to note that total horsepower at summary end is rated at 274. Check it out for yourself
I just visited the Mazda USA site, and there was no option, either from the "Build A Vehicle" link on the home page, or on the "Wild Child" site, to build an MS3.
I did check the Features and Specs page, which shows peak HP at 263 and peak torque at 280. This has been recently updated, as the last time I checked it showed peak HP as "TBD" (to be determined). I believe the current issue of Sport Compact Car reported 263 HP.
Where you building an MS6 instead? It's peak HP is 274.
Let's hope for some more reviews--SOON!
Thanks,
Greg

The link is there. I am in Atl GA.. It is too the left under the wildchild link in the black and white section under shopping tools. I may have spoken to early though on the HP. The main wildchild page states 263. But I am not sure why they don't translate that to the summary on the build your own link. When you get to the end for viewing the summary of what you just built it states 274hp. They are messing with us. I know it.
Destination Fee $595

I found it.
Kinda funny (but I'll bet it's a glitch).
Go to the Mazdaspeed3 'wild child' page.
On the left hand side (under shopping tools) select "Build a Mazdaspeed3".
Select the trim (sport or Grand Touring), color, and then options until you get to the last page ("Summary").
On the left hand side you'll see "print window sticker". Select that.
A little window pops up with 'your' Mazdaspeed3 window sticker showing trim/colors/yada yada yada.
ON THAT WINDOW STICKER, under "engine" it says "274hp"
It also lists the mileage as 20/26 on that 'window sticker' which doesn't agree with the 20/28 number listed elsewhere. I think all that was found was a typo. BFD.
Like it really REALLY matters whether it is 'rated' at 274hp or 263hp. It is what it is. I don't know too many people saying "gee, I'd buy one if it only had 274hp instead of 263hp".
I totally agree with you, but Mazda has misstated HP numbers in the past and got a black eye for it.
Personally, I would take either HP numbers in my Mazda3...
Then perhaps they should rate it conservatively and not get into a numbers game.
