Default What the 3 Shoulda Been

This is the direction Mazda should have taken the 3.

The Lexus LF-Ch concept looks like it could have been the 2010 Mazda3 5-door. The LF-S probably could have been the 4-door.

I just think it looks like what the 3 could have progressed to. I could see it as 3 concept car and moved into production.
Well, not now that they went the way of the guppy-whale.

The shape of the side could pass for mazda, but the front end still says "Lexus".
And I don't mean the emblem.

I think one of these will be the new Mazda 3 for 2011 or 2012

The top one looks like a CX-7.

And the hood on the bottom ones reminds me of a Chrysler Crossfire.
Though both of them look better than the '10.
