New Mazda teased on Facebook, unveiling June 26 – is it the Mazda 3 or a turbocharged Mazdaspeed 6?

Mazda USA has put up a teaser on its Facebook fan page timeline cover depicting a new Mazda car front grille with the tagline ‘game changer’, along with a June 26 unveiling date.

One possibility of what might be unveiled is the new C-segment Mazda 3 in its hatchback form. We’ve already carried various spyshots of the upcoming new Mazda 3, including one set that shows a clear view of how the interior will look like and another that shows the car 100% undisguised from a rear three-quarter view angle.

However, when we went to the Game Changer Facebook tab where the company promised exclusive content to preview the upcoming car, we saw many photos of the Mazda 6 instead, which leads us to believe it could also possibly be a high performance Mazdaspeed 6, or Mazda 6 MPS as we know it in this part of the world.

That said, it’s most likely the Mazda 3, a car which Mazda celebrated it’s first 10 years of existence this month. Based on a regular Japanese car five-year life cycle, it’s very ripe for a replacement right about now.

The unveiling will happen at 8:45pm Eastern Daylight Time, which is GMT-4. It’s about 2am EDT right now, so you can expect to read the official details of the new Mazda on this website sometime tomorrow morning.

    As per one of the aussie sites:

    “The all-new Mazda 3 will be officially unveiled in the early hours of Thursday morning as part of a global reveal.

    Mazda has published a teaser image of the new 3′s grille (top) on its Facebook page today as part of the build-up.

    CarAdvice will be among the first in the world with images and details of the third-generation Mazda 3 when the embargo lifts at 4:30am AEST on June 27”

    Looks like it will be the new 3?

    Gamechanger, it’s Mazda 6 beaten Segment benchmark, Focus and Passat, even troubled entry level Luxury Sedan. Can this new 3 beat the segment boss, Focus and Award winning Golf?

    We hope more and more average Malaysians support car companies selling safer vehicles, Mazda as the pioneer. We are not talking about luxury brands.

    The new Mazda 3 will not come so soon to Msia. Some agreement/contact to have CDK 20K units for the assembly output. Maybe the Skyactiv engine for current M3 before we could enjoy the new M3.

      If that’s true, as much as I would love to have the new Mazda 3, I will look for other options such as the corolla altis and VW golf. Younger generations nowadays are tech savvy you know, and we don’t really buy outdated stuffs.

    mazda suddenly come from zero to hero.
    the mazda 6 is real stunning. i’m sure the new mazda 3 will good either.
    price mazda 3 around 95k-115k, civic is going nowhere. even that cerato will have some tough time. come on, we dont need a korean with 120k price tag. with hideous interior
