Does this annoy anyone else?

im 17 and that car has NO appeal to me.. is it a gonna be a soccer mom car? please tell me its not

That's absurd...that is not the direction Mazda is going...think of it as a next gen Proteg...is the current Proteg/P5 a soccer mom car...couldn't be farther from it...

I think there are alot of people out there driving SUVs that would be better off in something in the Protege5 class. How often do you actually see people sitting in the back of an SUV?

The Mazda3 will have have a sedan body-style as well, so just get that.

...And you'll have a Corolla S.

I'd love to see a 2+2 fastback/hatchback Mazda6 at some future date!

Here ya go... 4 doors, but it's a hatchback. A "Luxury Hatchback" to be precise.

I think the M3 is down right ugly. If I wanted a mini van I would go to the Dodge dealer and get a Caravan. I think the M3 should come with the baby on board sticker and built in baby seats in back. ( I have a 2 year old)

The MP5 is am awesome car (not a SUV wanna-be). It is too bad that Mazda didn't send a survey to its current Mazda owners in North America.

From what I've seen is that most Mazda owners aren't in favor of it. Looks like a cross between the Honda Element and that Nissan SUV thing with a flair of the Toyota Matrix.

Any way I think the Mazda 3 is ugly, so the next new Mazda I buy will most likely be an RX-8.

Sorry You don't like the M3. I just love it. I like the agressive lines, the headlights, the front grill (both), the back, the motor (2.3l), the interior, the commodity (hatch), and the fun to drive (I'm sure it will be has fun if not better to drive than the P5). Don't forget, it's the same ration lenght/height as the P5. I can't wait to test-drive one!!!
