Mazda showed off the new Mazda 3 MPS at the Geneva auto show, a performance version of the standard Mazda 3. In the U.S., this update should appear as the Mazdaspeed 3. Past models of this car have impressed us with excellent handling and responsive acceleration. If the new version handles as good as it looks, we're in for a treat.
