rear most windows are also more triangular now.

...evolutionary styling?

Front end styling?
RX-8 + Mazda 6 + any new Peugeot

The 3’s current range of 1.4 to 2.0-litre petrol engines will be carried over to the new car.

Oh noes!!!!!!!

If Mazda can cut 100kgs of curb weight it can ease out on its FC.

Design wise looks like Mazda will beat the existing c-market leaders. Interior will be roomier too. I saw an ad today in inquirer 70k dp nalang offer nila sa current 3 models hahaha looks like this is the cue we've been waiting for. expect the new 3 to come out mid 2009 or worse case scenario is end of 2009.

First time I heard about that. Aren't Rotary Engines known to be gas guzzlers?
Other reports just mentioned that the Mazda 3 will get the new 2.5 liter inline-4 (probably for selected markets like the US) and tweaked versions of the existing smaller displacement engines.

I just hope that the 1.6 will now have more than 105PS now that the upcoming Jazz 1.5 and City 1.5 will have 120PS from their 1.5 liter VTEC engines!
