Without seeing official pics of the Mazda 3, I'm sad to say I really doubt I'm going to like the design. "Mazda 6 mixed with a Jetta". First of all, I personally don't like the design of the newer jettas. Just don't do it for me. Very, very bland. While the Mazda 6 is a nice looking car, it's because it's obviously bigger than the proteges.

I'm going to miss the clean, simple, aggresive lines of the protege. I don't want it turning into a bland-mobile

The new engines sound terrific though.... But obviously we didn't buy our cars for the engine HP output

The wagon looks like a P5 and a focus had a baby though larger than either one

if the new P5 really does look closer to a matrix/vibe, i may be looking more closely at the new imprezas.

...which look like hyundais. What the hell is wrong with carmakers these days? All the pretty cars are going away.

Another preview image

I found this rendered image on some German website. Even though it is a very bad rendering, but I thought I would share it with all of you.
