Looks nice.. a very good looking car… Well, I will not say Mazda is copying.. The front grille is already in mazda blood line since the RX-8 and the CX models and the rear is looks like Mazda6. The side still an original Mazda3 design.

Really looking forward to this car.

I personally think that this new generation of mazda 3 looks like a combination of rx8 (front, when you look at the streamline of the bonnet) and mazda 6 (rear, especially the taillights).

Can’t wait for an SP25 hatch. Hope it is released soon as I need a car soon, not mid 2009.

I’d buy an MPS now if it came with an auto of some sort.
The MPS’s limited slip diff is excellent. No need for AWD.

How about an MPS with a DSG style dual clutch auto?
It would give the Ralliart Lancer a fright!

Another great looking car from Mazda….our Astina might been replaced by the hatch one of these…
As for the BT-50 its a great ute but the 3.7 V6 from the CX9 would be a great option and Ford only own 33% of Mazda.

Mixed metaphor…that’s very clever! I love word play. It would make a good drag name, like Dawn Hobb, Gloria Soame or Kara Van Parke.

You must all be joking.

Right?

The model in these pictures is, at best: …uninspired.

Mazda: I’m extremely disappointed.

Granted, this is just the sedan. And the sedan’s looks vs the hatch has always been ordinary where the hatch has always been funky.

Hopefully you will claw back some of my respect when picks of the hatch are eventually released. But it has got to be something mighty special to convince me to upgrade my ‘05 SP23 hatch next year.

“There always has to be a whinger somewhere who feels he/she can do better. Oh well can’t please everyone.”

Settle princess, where did I say I could do better? Are you saying that this car is the pinnacle of car design, that no one will ever make a better designed car? Because unless you are, then you are admitting that the new mazda 3 has design faults. And thats fine, you’d expect a $20k-ish car to have some trade-offs. I mentioned one, to add more depth to the discussion of the new cars design, and you call me a whinger? My first two words were it looks good for crying out loud. You’re more the whinger for getting upset that someone doesn’t share your view on the world.

Yet another same-same looking car from Mazda. I don’t like it. Head and tail-lights look to big and the front guards out of proportion like the new 6. Not happy Mazda.

What martin said = BLASPHEMY. Peugot, Lexus, etc = bland and/or ugly. Mazda = great design.

icejagans Says
it’s lucky that ford still owns mazda, otherwise the blue oval would be in more dog shite.

Ford owns a majority share, 52% I think? Not the whole company.
Don’t worry, they will sell it soon, nearly everything else they owned is sold.
