[purewhitebliss]

hey all, ive been cruising the web constantly, hoping to find rendered speculations of the upcoming mazda 3/axela. i ran across this at ThaiDriver.com

accurate? i believe it shares many Characteristics with other upcoming models, but the front is a little subjective...


opinions?

Looks pretty similar to other speculation photos i've seen...very close to a mini cx-7. I presonally hope they stay closer to an RX8 look, but this is very clean too. That pic has the MS3 wheels...pretty much exact.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is it. The finance guy at one of my dealers showed me a pic of the new 6 and it looked just like a mini CX7 so I'm sure they'll trend the 3 toward this body style as well. Makes it look a heck of a lot bigger. But I like the look of it.

That's just a Photoshop. The 2010 Mazda3 was actually shown at the Apr 23-25 Mazda dealer meeting in Denver (the same meeting that formally introduced the 2009 N. American-spec Mazda6).

Spyshots of it testing in New Mexico are here: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123703328
