ALL-NEW MAZDA3 SEDAN TO DEBUT AT 2008 LOS ANGELES AUTO SHOW

IRVINE, Calif. - Mazda Motor Corporation has confirmed that the sedan version of the all-new MAZDA3 (known as Mazda Axela in Japan), fully redesigned for the first time in five years, will be revealed at the Los Angeles Auto Show*1 on November 19, 2008.

The covers will be pulled off during Mazda’s press conference at 12:20 p.m. (local time) revealing the all-new MAZDA3, the latest evolution of Mazda’s Zoom-Zoom spirit.

Every element of the all-new MAZDA3 has been developed for heightened exhilaration, with a more refined sporty ride, top-class fuel economy and quietness. Environmental and safety features,¡¡based on Mazda’s long-term “Sustainable Zoom-Zoom” vision, aim to achieve a balance with fun-to-drive. Add in a new expressive face and Mazda’s dynamic design elements, and the all-new MAZDA3 is everything a driver could ask for in a sports compact.

Since its launch in 2003, the current MAZDA3 has sold approx. 1.8 million vehicles*2 in over 100 countries and has won more than 90 global motoring awards*3 to date.

car looks great. My dad just bought a 2008.5 Mazda3 iTouring a few months ago, but i still love it despite knowing that the 2010 is coming out soon. the new Mazda6 theme works pretty well and that 2.5L is gonna be sweet.

My only problem is that in one of the side view pics, the car looks a bit too bulky, and a bit like the new corolla(gross). I hope this will change when i see it in person.

YelloPhase - I think it’s the squared off rear end that’s throwing everyone off a little bit. I’m really excited to test drive the 2010 Mazda3 with the 2.5L engine. A family friend test drove the 2009 Mazda6 with the 2.5L 4-cylinder in it and he said it was the only mid-size car he drove that he thought was adequately powered by a four cylinder.

Throw that into a lighter car like the upcoming Mazda3 *drool*
