White a darker gray are going to be available in the summer of '08 on the Speed 3.

also:

Everything that was once a Dark Gray trim is now being replaced with Piano Black in the interior.

All CD players are now MP3 compatible.

Black alcantara seat inserts instead of the silver cloth.

Performance = same… not a problem, still the best in class

I’m considering a trade myself. I’ve got an '05 Mazda 3 that I am still really happy with… but after test driving the speed… hmmm.
