Mazda seems to be missing out on a huge opportunity here with their 2.5 Turbo engine. But they have strayed so far out of the Hot Hatch business that I don't see it happening.



Like mentioned above, Mazda and their 3 is more of a daily driver, fuel efficient, semi-luxury focused car. You should see the amount of sound dampening they install. The hood itself also, weights a ridiculous amount.



Would they strip all of that, add a 6 speed manual, and somehow Tune their SkyActiv-G Engine for less restrictive specs, maybe, just maybe the GR would have competition. But no, it is not in their plans.
