It seems Australians are obsessed with AWD, and constantly knock FWD driven vehicles. But here is some hope for those who just can't break away from the herd...

I'm pretty sure there was an AWD JDM version of the previous base model 3's too.
there was always an AWD base mazda 3 it was the snow edition, it was only ever available in japan AFAIK.
mazda should give the option of AWD just to satisfy the WRX crowd, and steal their buyers.
The AWD system for the normal 3s and 6s probably aren't designed to handle the power/torque of the turbo engines. I doubt they'll see an AWD MPS3.
Let Subaru keep the WRX crowd IMO. I don't want to be associated with the majority of those drivers.
Totally agree with Nulliaj and I can see the price of it also going through the roof!!!
Meh i dont need AWD ....i drive a MPS 3...
seriously though we have targa MPS's killing AWD'ers dosent that prove something???
It will be interesting to see how the 3 competes with the new Evo X and 09 WRX in the targa.
For all you AWD drivers, grow some arms

R36 - Just like an MPS6 except with a growly V6
We'll grow some arms when you guys give up power steering
All my future cars will be all wheel drive- two wheel drive just does not compare.
