Mazda's latest version of its high performance 2010 Mazdaspeed3 five-door hatchback made its world debut in European-spec MPS trim at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show in March and is coming to New York for it's U.S. bow.Under all that shiny new sheetmetal and behind that smiling face is a familiar car, one that we've grown to love for its bargain performance. Mazda's 2.3L turbocharged and direct-injected engine still resides between the front tires and sends power to them via a six-speed manual transmission whose ratios have been revised for smoother acceleration. Power should be unchanged from 2009, so expect nothing less than the current car's 263-hp/280 lb-ft output. It's also expected to wear the same 12.6-in front and 11.0-in rear brakes as the old car, though Mazda has now added electronic Brake Assist to the ABS and stability control systems to keep everything in check.

The biggest changes are skin-deep. The new go-fast Mazda3's Nagare-style grinning grille remains largely the same up front, but features reworked air intakes that feed passing air to the brakes more efficiently. Also of note on the front clip is the deletion of lower ducts set below the foglights. More aggressive side skirts continue the Mazdaspeed theme along the flanks and to the rear, the enhancements culminate with a blacked-out rear diffuser sporting a dual exhaust. A more pronounced wing also perches above the five-door's hatchback. Bolder fenders house the larger wheel and tire setup, while the bulging hood features a gaping scoop to feed the intercooler.
