dayam ... it looks sooo sweeeet. wonder wat a sedan version would look like.

 

Looks quite good, though the back needs something more in the middle of the hatch.

Interestingly enough, check out this article and photo from Detroit News. Not sure if that photo is correct, but it is VERY different from the MX Sportif. Although if I look at it more closely, I think the Det News photo might actually be a Mazda6 wagon, rather than the new Mazda3

Tell me what you think.

The front certainly looks like a 6, but I think its a bit smaller and shorter than the longish 6 wagon. The back looks like it is pretty short and tapered like my Protege5. I hope I'm wrong, the MX Sportif looks MUCH better.

The photo from your site is:

MAZDA6 + PHOTOSHOP = MAZDA3

it is fake

 

yea, i smell photochop. the spy pic on the bottom is prolly a real pic of the mx-sportif though, but u cant make anything out on that pic.

 

No it's not. The spy pic is the real Mazda3. The MX Sportif is the concept of the Mazda3 hatchback. BTW: the Sportif looks great! But I don't really like the rear

 

What do you mean by saying REAL MAZDA3???
Nobody seen mazda3 yet. We have only MX SPORTIF.
BUT everybody know that this MX SPORTIF is concept of Mazda3.

It is what might be called a realistic concept, in the same way as the MX Sport Runabout, unveiled at last year's Geneva show, closely resembled the Mazda2 introduced later in the year.

 

This is what I mean with the "real Mazda3"



I said that because of this;

That is wrong. 'Cause that spy pic of of the Mazda3, not te MX Sportif

How can u be sure that the spy foto is Mazda3???
It is Mx Sportif AnywaY!!!

first comes Mx Sportif then will come 3

it will be like with mazda2
first Mx Sport runabout then mazda2

i said it post before

 

Since they've already released all those pictures of the MX Sportif, why would they have to disguise it so much? I think its a working concept of the Mazda 3 which would vary slightly from the Sportif, but as far as I'm concerned, they're the same car. (did I just contradict myself? )

No, it's not! The MX Sportif is a concept car. To show us how the Mazda3 hatchback will look like (but then with normal bumpers, lights, doorhandles etc). That spy shot is the real Mazda3 which they (Mazda) are testing. And as you can see it has normal (more clear) head- and taillights and doorhandles



Remember the RX-8 concept? That wasn't 100% the real RX-8 (other bumpers, lights, dashboard etc). They were still testing the real RX-8 (I've got spy shots of that too) and showed us the RX-8 concept (after the RX Evolv) to prepair us for the real RX-8. Almost every brand does it..

BTW: no brand will test a concept car...

 

HOLY COW! That interior is FANTASTIC!

 

Interior definitely got a similar "feel" as the RX-8. Nice Touch.

Mazda are really pumping out some nice models nowadays good for them.

 

Just in case there is any confusion the wagon pix is clearly labled "Photo-illustration of the new Mazda 3." Please note the word ILLUSTRATION.

 

If the final car looks anything like the concept car pics (inside or out) then Ford should try to kill it right now - they will never sell another Focus again! Wow!

 

damn i migth just lose interest in the rx8 and like this one better
cause its a n/a:D

 

more interior pic

 

dood, this things got a 8000rpm tach !!!

 

So does my Millenia. The redline is at 6500 which is about right for a piston engine.
