The new gt trims come with bi-Xenon headlights

yes but there is no mention of pricing for those trims.

I found the following

"Topping the range is the Mazda3 s Grand Touring ($22,300) in both four- and five-door flavors. While it's powered by the same 2.5L engine and automatic transmission, drivers are comforted by a segment-first eight-way driver seat and Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS) with bi-xenon headlights."

So, a fully loaded GT will be
$22,300
+ $1,195 (Tech Package)
+ $1,395 (Moonroof/Bose)
---------
$24,980

That's much more than what I paid for my fully loaded GT back in 2006... or did I calculate it wrong?

I would guess that the advertised price you indicate is MSRP. I doubt you paid full MSRP, and I would hope the dealers have some room to negotiate on the new3 as well.

You are right. I just priced a 2009 GT Fully Loaded on carsdirect.com and the MSRP comes to $25,800
