That must be a REALLY early chassis mule, becuase you take out all that tape and you have an 07 sedan, no question.

I read somewhere they just bolted on a current-gen 3 body, and that the mule was more of an engine/chassis test. The next-gen 3 will still use the C1 platform.

Possible.... should be interesting if they ever do a DISI 2.5l turbo.... that thing would murder an STi.

idk if i like the body being longer, but if they made the speed outta the 2.5 engine it would be one of the best mazda evermade

That looks exactly like my car. Other than all the tape and stuff, of course.

I would've loved to have a 190hp 2.5L in my 6. If they really bump the hp up that much from the 2.3.

Performance-wise dual-exhaust on a i4 is debatable. But looks-wise it's nice. I miss the dual-tips from the 6, and the dual rumble.

Here's a pic it looks like someone photochopped of the redesigned 3. It's probably pretty close though since it shares similarities to the redesigned 6.

Looks like they stuck a bunch of cx7 stuff to it.

Looks just like a chopped, lowrider CX-7 to me.

I expect the new 3 to look like a blend between the current 3 and the new 6.

Should be interesting in any event, Mazda has delighted me with some tasty designs as of late.

Just an FYI, this month's Sport Compact Car has a spied shot of the 2010 complete redesign model 3.
