2010 Mazda 3

After a day at the 2008 L.A. Auto Show, we're afraid that we can no longer recommend the current-generation Mazda 3 to our friends. Why? Because on the floor of the L.A. Auto Show was the 2010 Mazda 3, and we like what we see. With a more powerful engine, sharp styling that echoes the new Mazda 6 we like so much, and the promise of all the fun of the original in a more sophisticated package, what's not to love? It'll go on sale soon enough, and we think it's definitely worth waiting for.
