Mazda3
At the Los Angeles Auto Show, Mazda just pulled the wraps off an all-new Mazda3, a model that has been with us for five years. Hard to believe, isn't it? But this new car will help us forget about the old car, which won us over with its entertaining driving manners.
And we really like the new "pontooned" front fenders, which are prominent but more subtly shaped than those on the latest Mazda6 sedan. There's clearly a new family resemblance at work here, and the 3, like the 6, boasts some stylish detailing at both ends.
Initially available only as a 4-door sedan, the new 2010 Mazda3 offers better fuel economy, a quieter cabin, more safety features and a sportier ride character. Mazda says we can expect to see a 5-door version of the Mazda3 in a few months. We're happy about that because the 5-door looks great and is quite practical.
The 5-door will also be the basis of a new Mazdaspeed3. We've seen spy shots of this turbocharged model being tested at the Nürburgring in Germany, and we can only assume that it will have a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine with 280 bhp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. Our only wish? That the Mazdaspeed3 will be all-wheel drive, to help put all that power to the ground.
