that photoshop job was on here like maybe 6 months ago,
so in other words, no... plus its ugly

 

what about this one

 

omg, that is ugly.....

 

the design has not been released leaked, or stolen yet. we'll notify every1 when it is, give this post a break.

 

Hey, take a look at this website, does anyone know what language it is in??

http://www.mazda3.hu/

 

the (HU) is for Hungery, (spell)

 

Ok, i got a translation of the hungarian word that is covering up the fuzzed out Mazda3. It means, shortly or coming soon. Looks like we have found the first pics (albiet very fuzzy) of the Mazda3. Lookslike Mazda has already shone the car to some of its dealers.

 

Does anyone know when the Mazda3 will debut. What car show will it be unvieled at? It seems like Tokyo would be the best place because it is a Japanese auto maker.

 

From what I have been reading lately online, and in magazines, is that Mazda 3 will come out the same time as the redesigned Focus, and all that is happening at 2005. That means there will no official pictures until 2004, and some official spy photos (not the rendered images), should be either mid to late 2003. I am personally waiting to hear more about the new Mazda 3. Because I have a 2nd gen, and it would not be very efficient for me to invest money in it to get a some more decent power. I will only do my exhaust and intake, and then maybe springs with rims. But when the Mazda 3 rolls out, I will most likely trade my Pro in for it.

 

I know Mazda is planning to start building the Mazda3 in spring/early-summer 2003. They are also planning on bring to car to the states sometime around September 2003. It will be based on the nextgen focus but sources say the Mazda will come out at least a year before the focus replacement. I believe it will debut soon at the Tokyo Motor show or possibly in a North American show but Tokyo makes more sense because after all Mazda is a Japanese company.
