Thread: Any word on a model refresh MPS3?

  1. #1

    Default Any word on a model refresh MPS3?

    Hey folks, just wondering if anyone was aware if a mid-life refresh of the Mazda3 MPS was due anytime soon (similar to how there was a "Series 2" BK model).

    Yeah I remember people suggesting the white would replace the blue - any idea of time frames we're looking at? (currently looking at buying an MPS again, and don't really want to buy one only for for a new model to be released a month or so later )

    I've grown to like the blue now, the new Gen 2 Grand Prix Race car is this blue.....I wanted to take photo's of it but missed by a week because they gave Mazda Australia 1st option for exclusive photo's ...

    But I do not think we are getting White. I think it was meantion on OMC a little bit back that white was applied for but was knocked back.

    I hope you are correct and he was able to get the decision changed or he was playing with them so when white comes people are surprised.

    I can not find the comment now but it was made by the guru (only reason I paid attention to it).

    well i dont understand why Mazda Australia dont wanna sell more MPS

    A white 3MPS in Gen1 would have boosted sales and figures...and you think a Gen2 in white was obvious.

    a few members already have white Gen2...so that should ring alarm bells for Mazda Aust..

    The blue doesnt sell...so scrap it and put something up that does..

    The only answer that I can come up with, that makes half sense is. Note this is just a theory.

    All markets that the MPS sell in appear to only be gettting 4 of the 5 colours available. We just happen to be the country to miss out on the white.

    Now the reason they are holding back the other colour is that Mazda are hoping at some stage can produce a special addition. I do not think they got around to doing in the Gen 1 but they are holding out hope for Gen 2.

    So in theory we could get a special addition in white and maybe 4wd .

    Well we can hope.

    Hmm as much as i like the idea i doubt that'll happen... Boosting power and AWD is gonna jack up the prices to sky high and then no one will pay for it hence bad for sales... Kinda like the 6MPS No more 6MPS 2nd Gen... Sets an example?

    Well no, if Mazda did it then it would still be cheaper than a Golf R, and that certainly sells.

    When would the new shape come out? I'll probably get one of them when it does.

    I don't believe the 6 was stopped due to pricing, thought the 6 was stopped because in America it has the cx9 engine so more power can't make a less powerful mps..

    tufmps is correct

    America the main market for MPS had their own agenda with a different model Mazda 6 with V6 and no 4 pot so it wasnt viable for Japan to make a 6MPS with less power output than a regular Mazda 6
