As all the manufacturers are pushing newer models for 2009 at this time of year, the much anticipated Mazda3 sedan has been officially announced. Although set to release in 2010, there has been much anticipation related to the looks and performance of the sporty sedan.

There will be 2.0 liter and 2.5 liter engines available, yet no specifics have been published yet. The hatch is also set to be announced very soon. We don’t have much else on the Mazda3 2010, but we did get a few pictures to show you all. In the meantime, let’s cross our fingers for a Mazdaspeed version of the sedan (and hatch).
