New Mazda3 Sedan version!!!!



The car looks good except why they have to design the rear passenger windows shape like the stupid looking Saturn Ion and the new Nissan Maxima.

The side looks a bit like an older Neon too.

The inside:

Yes, I agree that it looks extremely good for the econ-class sedan.

It's doesn't look like a under20K econ-class sedan anymore.

It's time for Mazda to have full scale strike to beat up all the Civics.

It looks very high end and substantial for it's size, I like it.

Hopefully by the time it reaches our shores it looks the same.

I think not.

Just take a look at how much stuff they have stripped off from the P5 as an example.
I have a post here in another page showing how much they have stripped off from the P5.

Interior reminds me of the Lexus IS300. Not that I don't like it though.

But none of the things shown on that thread really changed the look of the P5. Most likely it will look like the pictures above - as tradr was saying. The images above don't imply dynamic skid control or safety power windows . . .
