Moving since this is really about cars, not racing.

I'm actually kind of surprised that they'd pick up the Mazdaspeed model right away. Normally the Mazdaspeed package shows up a year or more after a new model debuts.

The MS3 just won another hot hatch challenge in C&D which says something considering that a couple of the cars it beat out are newer designs.
