Enthusiasts are wrong, reviving the Mazda 3 MPS could cripple Mazda’s future

For months Mazda enthusiasts have been holding their breath in eager anticipation for the Mazda 3 2.5 Turbo. Mazda’s sexiest hatch with its biggest engine sounds enticing by itself. But enthusiasts were more hopeful that it would feature the Mazdaspeed or MPS designation. Alas, that wasn't to be when the 3 2.5 Turbo made its debut in North America. While the new variant followed the recipe of the last "MPS" model – big turbo engine, small hatch – it didn’t wear the renowned name. Not only that,

200 PS for under RM 200k, possible but the results might surprise you

It wasn’t very long ago when 200 horsepower was exclusive only to high performance cars. The race homologated E30 BMW M3 for example, had just 200 PS from a 2.3-litre S14 four-cylinder engine. That was enough to make it one of the fastest sedans of the ‘80s and ex-F1 driver Jean Alesi said it was the best handling road car. Today, we have seven-seater MPVs and pick-up trucks that produce 200 horsepower, never mind sports cars. Of course, cars have also gotten a lot more complicated and a lot hea
