2008 Los Angeles Auto Show Preview: Beefier 2010 Mazda3 Sedan Set for Debut

    0 Ratings

    IRVINE, California — Mazda has just offered an advance look at the redesigned 2010 Mazda 3, showing off a sedan version with more aggressive styling. The Mazda 3 will debut on November 19 at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show.

    Although the Japanese automaker was careful to not detail any exterior specifications, it is anticipated that the new Mazda 3 sedan will be slightly longer than the current model. The Mazda 3 is known as the Axela in Japan.

    "Following the world debut of the North-American-specification sedan with 2.0- and 2.5-liter engines at the show, the five-door hatchback version will be revealed in line with Mazda's global sales schedule," the automaker said in a statement.

    The 2010 Mazda 3 will continue to share the European Ford Focus platform, with an emphasis on brawniness.

    Inside Line says: The Mazda 3 gets bigger and more muscular — and should be one of the highlights of the upcoming L.A. show. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
