New Mazda3 Spied

[Meat]

So no Kodo design with the 3? I was expecting something more like the pic below. This one is pretty hideous...so far. Can't really tell with that crazy camo thanks to HandA you somewhat get a feel for what it looks like.

The new 3 will most definitely have the Kodo design language. The C&D 'shop is based off of the current 3 and the new 6 but I wouldn't expect it to look radically different than that. The front overhang may be a bit longer and the rear will look more like a mini CX-5 (for the 3 hatch at least) but it will still have the amazing kodo design elements.

I still want to see a picture without camo to reach conclusion on styling, yes we know to expect Kodo design elements.

yep, as was mentioned that is some pretty good camo they've got on it.

Yes, the Lexus IS dudes just went through this exercise with the 2014 Lexus ISx50, same deal camo pretty much disguised everything. Conclusions about styling could only be reached when non-camo pics released and actual car shown in Detroit.
