i think it looks great the side shot look like an imporved version of our cars while the front kinda looks like the rx-8

[bioevolve]

Starting to llok like an Acura/Nissan.

[LBV]

Not digging the back end or the way they've lowered the front grill.

[Derek88]

CX-7 + RX-8 = MZ3

[FastAttack]

hmm not digging the back.. the front would look better with a higher grill or a split grill.

[Shanems3]

looks good, remember its a concept, lots of things will be changed.

[kingpin748]

I would so fucking by that.

[clos561]

boooo looks like the wrx's form the back

[KaiserSoze]

They really need to rework that front end.

[MPS305]

here you go fellas...

[kingpin748]

That's a nice car. You are all wrong and I am right.

[Raglem]

I love everything except for the back end. It just looks wrong.

Awesome rebuttal considering he's only giving his opinion. It's not like he pissed on your face.

Personally, I hate it. It's too angular for how large the general body shape is.

wow, these are old pics (old vid)

S'more info here. Of note:

Performance fans will be pleased to hear that an MPS model will feature the five-cylinder turbo from the Focus ST. In the Mazda, which is due in 2010, this will offer around 250bhp. And the discreet look of the current 3 MPS is set to be axed in favour of a more menacing design.

[gsrtype1]

the speed3 gonna get 1 more cylender and 15less hp ?

[Gran-T]

Likes the the exahust and the emblem mounted on the front grill. Rear end has some nice angles.

Doesn't like the headlights, taillights and the 2nd-gen Taurus rear window.

Not sure about the metal creases on the sides and overall swoopy-ness. CX-7 styling clues galore. It may grow on me.

For now I thinks I like my '08 MS3 better, esp. if the next drivetrain really is gonna be rolled-over from the T-5 Volvo C30/Euro Focus.

I did hear the interior plastics will be nice and squishy.

5 cylinder sounds sick

Probably borrowing that from Volvo.

Yea, and if its anything like that engine, or the power output from the Focus ST, they may as well kill the project off now..

Now, stuffing the 3.7L in their would be good, or the new concept 3.5L Eco-boost..

Seems that the I-5 from the Volvo is weak.. why would they give us huge HP in the current Speed3, then downgrade it for the new model? I could see the I-5 going into the GT, not the Speed3.. so, like,

[5_Alive]

The rear end looks very reminiscent of the BMW 1-series hatch..
and a little Peugeot as well..

But I like the new designs.. I'm sure much will change over the first year of production even, as things usually do with cars..

But yea, 5-cylinder will LESS power, not my cup of tea..

[Shanems3]

2010 Mazda3 sedan [Spied again]

all spy shots, they have interesting picture in there, one of interior, lets see if you can see what i am seeing..

[Shanems3]

no responses... anyone see the stick , 6speed... could it be a MS3?

[gsrtype1]

yeah I noticed that unless the regualar 3 has a 6th gear that could be a speed prrototype

[atomicms3]

That ass end is fucking hideous. There's too much molding around the hatch glass... in fact, the whole C pillar area is fubar.

[Domino81]

When I hear 3.7 all I think of is understeer caused by a tremendously heavy engine. The I5 (I think) could be great. And it sounds phenomenal, too.
