Mazda's got the zoom-zoom thing wired lately. Their recent models– the second wave of 6s and 2s– are looking gooood. Both of these cars seem very mature yet fresh. Although they're all Mazdas in every way, the smaller one appears cute and playful, while the 6 is serious and elegant. The second generation 3/Axela/Mazdaspeed3, due out later this year, is looking to hit the middle ground. And what do you get if you mix playfulness and energy with good looks? A sexy show-off. That's what the new 3 will be about: an evolution of the concept, but more daring and sleek. Another winner.

GREAT photochop! As a wagon maven, I hope someone at MazdaFord is watching this thread. Nice.

Honda, please hire The DoubleA. You need this car (well, I want it, at least), and redesigns for the rest of their (non-Civic coupe) lineup.
Anyway, I love the way the traits of the new Euro Mazda6 are integrated without looking like a clone. Follows the idea of Zoom-Zoom being a family thing :) I am probably going to be replacing the Miata with a Mazdaspeed3 or Civic Si Sedan this year, and something this good looking would make me wait.

I love it!

I have been shopping around for a new 3, but if they make the actual car look anything close to this, I will have to wait. That is incredible looking. If prices stay close to current ones I’m in.

I hope they will follow the same path as the Mazda2 - make it smaller, lower and lighter.
There is just no logical reason why a Mazda 3 should be allowed to be longer than a E46 3-series wagon. Which the current model is.

The real question is that if the Mazda3 moves up to the larger second generation C-1 platform, will we get a Mazda2?
It is a strange reversal of fortune. Mazda got the C-1 3, while Ford USA did not get a C-1 Focus. Now Ford is getting the Fiesta, while Mazda does not get the 2. What gives?

Wow, looks great. A worthy successor to the current 3. I love my little wagon and if the little lady would let us replace her 240 with another small vehicle…then we’d get another, but she demands slightly more interior room for the kiddo, AWD for Idaho, and wants ground clearance for the REI parking lot. So, an Escape it is…damn.

Oh man if it looks like this…awesome. great chop!

Now that’s a hot photoshopping work! Congratulations.
Pretty hot car too. I’m still unsure whether I prefer the 3 bar grill and its slightly retro look, or the dark grille
