2009 Mazda3 rendered speculation

July 1, 2008 by George Skentzos  




Update: After further investigation you may all be pleased to know these images are not from Mazda but are in fact the work of a very talented (or not, judging by the current feedback) amateur car designer.

Several images purportedly that of an upcoming Mazda concept car have found their way onto the web.

Current speculation suggests this is a precursor to the all-new Mazda3 hatchback, not scheduled to launch globally until 2009.

Recent spy shots of the new Mazda3 sedan undergoing testing overseas suggest these images could be genuine, sharing several key features with the heavily camouflaged test mules including bumper design and headlight position.

At the very least, these renderings certainly boast inspiration from Mazda’s Nagare design philosophy, displaying several key trademarks from the current concept range.

    fugliest render i have ever seen

  2. Tomas79 says:

    A bit too Japanese for my taste!!

  3. Tom says:

    Won’t look like that at all

  4. Luke GT singing to himself. says:

    Looks about right, very Ninja. hope some bits get toned down for production.
    Having seen a few Mazda 6’s about i’m actually preferring it to the Mondeo now. Given that this will look lightyears ahead of Fords dull Focus looks.

  5. Reckless1 says:

    Bit of confusion in this design. Doesn’t create a pretty picture, but maybe if they trimmed off the pointy ends of the front and rear bumpers and curved them upwards, it would look a heap better. Then the wedge point of the tail end needs mellowing, because it looks dumb.

    But white really shows off a poor design, it would look somewhat better in a dark colour.

  6. ZANDIT says:

    Bring it on!!! This is great looking, very modern and cutting edge, just like the other Mazda designs. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a one eyed Mazda lover, but you can’t deny their intentions are clear….Show other manufacturers how to design fresh cars.

  7. ZANDIT says:

    Could easily see this design language on a compact crossover like the iosisx concept, especially from that rear view.

  8. BOSSCR says:

    FACT:

    I like the front, but the rear is shocking!

  9. Baji says:

    Eeek! Its a bit scary. A bit too sharp and pointy. And the lights look a bit too small. But then again I’ve never really liked Mazda concept vehicles when I’ve first seen them. But they always do grow on me. I reckon that’s why Mazda’s always look so much better than the rest. Their concepts are so out there that when they do dumb it down for production models, they turn out just about right. Where as concepts from other manufacturers already look like production models, so when they do get dumbed down for production, they end up as refrigerators. Good job Mazda, I look forward to seeing the new production ready 3.

  10. Golfschwein says:

    ‘A’ pillars are way too thick, surely.

  11. Joober says:

    Hmm, looks ok, i doubt it will look like that though in the end…,

    Reminds me of the Current Astras

  12. GhisGT says:

    Looks good, but agreed, those A pillars would get very old, very quick

  13. Liam says:

    Stunning

  14. Genie says:

    Has the same long nose problem as the impreza, and its got the same ‘italian nose’ droop to it. Still, better than any car I could design.

  15. Genie says:

    Actually its more a jewish nose than italian. Just had to look in a mirror to remind myself.

  16. Starky says:

    Looks nice but look at the thickness of the A-pillars! Those should have their own windows!

  17. Duck says:

    Don’t like it! It’s rather ugly, really!

  18. Shpox says:

    The rear looks quite nice. Alfa Romeo Styling seems to have influenced it. Alternatively, the front looks like a pokemon.
