I saw one of these on the road about a week ago. It must have been one of those test models or something. The car looks very sharp in person. Looks like Mazda has another best seller on their hands.

It shares the same platform as the 2005 Focus.

It looks like a mini AVENSIS or Opel astra II

Yes, looks like a postel. Price almost as the 8"auto" fully loaded might as well get the rx-8.

The Mazda3 does share its chassis with the 05 Volvo S40/V50 and the next gen Euro Focus which will not be sold here in the States.
The Base engine is the 2.0L that is in the 03 Protege5 and Protege ES which is rated at 140hp and the top of the range with have the 2.3L from the Mazda6 which is rated at 160hp. The Volvo will have a 175hp 2.0 and a 220hp T5 turboed motor with AWD as an option. God I read to much.
