ALL 2010 Mazda3 Stuff Goes Here

[Captain GJ]

what do you guys think of the 2010 grille?

Found this article with a pretty nice looking shot of the 2010 Mazda 3. not sure if it has been posted yet.

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/225669/mazda_sharpens_up_its_act_on_new_3.html

If it ends up looking anything close to this, I'll be impressed. Apparently the article also mentions the mazdaspeed version of the car, saying that it will look much meaner than the current MS3.

it also says it will only have 250 hp.....lame

 

[bacarl]

The image has been posted before and somebody pointed out that it's most likely a fake image as there's a shot of a Mazda 6 with the same exact background and even parts/lines of the car make it look like it's just a Photoshopped image.

edit
Here's the .gif that somebody posted.

Hard to tell from just that picture tbh...

 

[mckraut]

I sort of like it.

You can't make out jack crap except that it's a sedan. Let's reserve judgment for the unmasked final production model.

From what I can see in the pics ... I like it.

Just like when they said the 3 was the Protege growing up, looks like an older more adult version of the 3.

Kinda looks like they through in a little EVO Back end in there, it sure is alot higher then it was.

DUAL exit exhaust = NICE!
Rear spoiler and 3rd brake light = NICE!

Clear taillight lenses = RICE!!! (not another wrx set of clear lenses DOOOH!)

i agree with the dual exhaust look...makes every car look a little better imo.

and yea you can't really get a good opinion about the looks cuz they love doing that "camouflage" tape around those test cars

We need to shed some weight ... AWD = heavier and drive train loss.

That's the point of "dat s***"

The point is to make it difficult to tell what the styling cues are. For instance the prototype pictures of the new Mazda6 had huge plastic covers over the nose and the tail to hide a lot of what made the styling pop. I think you can't judge the styling until the final model comes out without all "dat s***".
