The 2010 Mazda 3 will start at $15,045 when equipped with a manual transmission the company announced this morning. For those who care, that's $355 more than the previous base model Mazda 3.
The most expensive of the base 2.0-liter models, and also the highest volume model, is the "I Touring" and it gets a new price of $18,350, which is again $355 more than the 2009 model.
Step up to the burly 2.3-liter model and you're looking at spending $19,540 for an automatic-equipped "s Sport" Mazda 3. That's $455 more than the previous model. The top-of-the-line Grand Sport model gets a similar bump to a base price of $22,300. Sales are expected to begin in March.

About the same price as now. The GT trim looks like a great bargain.
The base 2.5-liter is too close in price to the Mazda6 2.5-liter, like the current model.
If I were shopping a Mazda3 GT would be nice... Oh wait the Mazdaspeed3 is coming...
It's GT, not GS.

Someone is finally pricing Navi aggressively! Well look at that. It's only taken 20+ years to get below $1500 for navi.
Really the other makes need to take note. There's no reason Navi should be a 2k option. It shouldn't even be a $500 option given how ancient the technology is but for $1100 i can see more people checking that navi box.

Edmunds article didn't mention it so here:
"New for MY2010 are two packages available on both higher trim 's' models -- a $1195 Technology package and a $1395 Moonroof/six-CD changer/Bose Audio package. The former includes keyless entry, an alarm system, push button start, navigation and Sirius Radio, while the latter is pretty self explanatory. "
