Mazda3 Mazda3 Concept Pictures Leaked?

[PanterroR]

A few images of what looks like a new Mazda Concept have surfaced on the web. The overall design profile and size of the vehicle suggests it could be a preview for the next generation Mazda3, but only official confirmation would back up our suspicions.

Mazda have already announced a new compact crossover SUV concept for the Moscow Motor Show and there is also a new Nagare Design Language inspired Mazda1 Concept expected at the Paris Motor Show. Comparisons between initial sketches of the two concepts confirm these images are neither leading us to believe a new concept could be in the works.

The sporty design, two exhausts, large air vents and front/back LED lights suggests a high end sporty model, possibly a Mazdaspeed3/Mazda3 MPS. What ever it is, the concept gets a thumbs up from WCF.

Those tail lights look almost identical to those of the new Subaru Impreza

Apparently, those are fake/PS images...:

Some of you may have wondered why we didn’t post anything on the Mazda3 Concept images that took the web by surprise yesterday. To be frank, we had discovered these images during the weekend but we were 99% sure they weren’t official. The only problem was we didn’t know where they came from. Of course, we could have created a nice story hiding the real-facts, but that’s not our style.

Today our hunt down finally paid off as we managed to discover the “culprit”. Turns out that these, rather convincing, pictures of a Mazda3 Concept are the work of "Grif-1", a member of the Russian design site, "Render". If anything else, we’ll give our kudos to Grif-1 for doing a wonderful and quite detailed work on the Mazda3 Concept. Hopefully we’ll hear from him again in the near future.

Even if it is a fake PS image, Mazda should make one just like that , but without the line on the lower half of the doors.

The guy is a magician, his mastering of photoshop is just amazing.

Indeed! It may be better than the original Mazda3 concept
