hmmm...

 

They did a damn good job covering it up!

 

the side mirrors look pretty good...

 

Yeah, looks like they did put some effort to cover things up. From what I can see, bangle butt, and Rx8 fenders to keep the current styling of the line up or else they wouldn't have put that block of foam to disguise it.

Also, stretched out 5 point grill and louvers on the side intakes - looks promising...

 

Yea no kiddin!

 

the dealers just got to see this car with no camo at the national dealers meeting

 

I don't know... kind of on the fence about the styling.
I think they could have done a better job with the hood covering. The buckle sort of detracts from the otherwise nice canvas finish. I also like the bold styling of the crosshatch tape patterns on the doors. Very original.

All in all, I think with a few minor changes, it's ready for the showroom.

 

My thoughts exactly! It currently looks much better than a bag of unskinned potatoes.

I'm pretty excited to see how this car will turn out. What's with the large wheel well area? I noticed this on CX-7 recently too, lots of space there.

 

I hate to say it but I fear we'll be seeing another "Plastic Mustache" and grin ala Rx-8 09 model and the supposed new Mx-5 redesign ..... good job Mazda.. your new corporate grill fails God I hope I'm wrong but just seeing the cover up I can see the que's.

 

the 3 now sports dual exhaust too? Jeez...

 

we can all probably assume that the headlights will mimic the new 6 and the front bumper design will mimic the new rx8 front. Rear will probably keep the same shape + a few changes.

 

Im surprised no one has called it 'fugly' or 'hideous' yet. That seems to be the common theme when viewing a completely covered and heavily camoflouged protoype vehicle.

 

i think it looks badass

 

SWEET! Finally the new camo body kit has arrived for the 3!
