Probably ducted like a HC Luce. To do a front mount efficiently (with minimum lag) you would need to design the shortest possable route for the plumbing, all this on in existing engine bay. This is the cost effective compromise.
If you don't like the $55k price tag imagine what it would be if Mazda had to redesign almost everything to accomodate.
If it had a scoop like a WRX people would critisize it for looking too much like a WRX. You just can't win.
