2010 Mazdaspeed 3 unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show

Mazda introduced the high-performance version of the Mazda 3 five-door on the morning of March 3 in Geneva.

The Mazdaspeed 3 is loaded with aggressive styling and a direct-injection 2.3-liter turbocharged engine, but still has the functionality and cabin space of a five-door hatch. It joins the Mazda 3 four- and five-door models to round out the 2010 Mazda 3 lineup.
