I’ve been looking forward to reviewing the 2013 Ford Fusion for quite some time.  I’d describe the Fusion as the car James Bond would drive, were he a real life government employee (not some crazy spy with an unlimited budget for cars, girls, and gadgets), with an average salary and a wife and 2.5 kids.

Mazda unveiled the all-new for 2014 Mazda3 hatchback today, and in keeping with their old “zoom zoom” slogan, the car looks pretty “zoomy” (sporty).  I’ve always liked the Mazda3, based on its looks, I’ve never driven one.  This new model looks fantastic, based on the pictures I’ve seen.  The design looks very European, I think it should look just as good in person, but you never know.

The new Mazda3 will be offered as a hatchback and a sedan.  The hatchback (5-door) is shorter, wider, and lower than the car it replaces; a perfect recipe for a sporty car.  It’s 1.8” shorter, while it has a 2.4” longer wheelbase; it rides 0.6” lower, and is 1.6” wider.
