Here is a look at the next Mazda 3 caught by Burlappcars.com and a number of other websites.
They ACCIDENTALLY leaked out.
Yeah, right.
SURE they did.
Just like Britney Spears Cha-Cha ACCIDENTALLY got photographed a thousand times!
We hope you like it, because if you DON'T, you are without question going to HATE the cars coming over the next few years.
Why?
Because EVERYONE and their brother will be building a derivative of this design in some way, shape or form.
They HAVE to.
Because everything HAS to shrink over the next 2-5 years because nobody really has the solution to this gas crisis other than making smaller, useful and more utilitarian packages.
To some, these next few years will become like the dark ages for cars and trucks until they can really figure out how to build what we all like now that will get 50+ MPG.
And unless some Google billionaires have something hiding in the wings, get ready for the onslaught of what we will call the 'SAK' Swiss Army Knife cars.
Somebody had to put a label on them, why not the Auto Spies.
One design that is a compact, sporty, fuel efficient, handy jack-of-all-trades but master of none.
1-Series Hatch, X1, Mazda 3, Subaru Impreza, B-Class, A1, just to name a few...everyone else will follow with their own flavor of this...WE GUARANTEE IT.
And this 'SAK' craze will be BIGGER than the SUV fever that hit us a few years back.
They're going to get all 'Euro' on us!
Whether we want it or not.
Remember where you heard it first...
