Mazda has officially taken the wraps off the all-new 2010 Mazda3 before its official unveiling at the LA Auto Show next month.
The all-new Mazda3 continues Mazda’s current design theme that is also the basis for the new Mazda6 (Sustainable Zoom-Zoom).
Mazda hasn’t released the final details except for the fact that the car will be powered by either a 2.3L or 2.5L four-cylinder engines when it is released sometime next year. Those engines seem kind of big for this class. Let’s hope Mazda finally decides to bring the Mazda2 here to appeal to the fuel conscious folks.
Expect more details next month from the show.
