Here are a few pics of the new 3 at the Melbourne motor show. This is the SP25 hatch:

This is the Maxx Sport sedan:

Apparently they are rushing over the new 3 mps this wed only a few hours after its unveiled in geneva.

The front of the blue SP25 hatch looks too much like a goldfish for my liking...

Maybe a scoop would help change that

i like it, it does look like a goldfish thou, but then again the new wrx looked like sht when it first came out (to me anyway) but it grew on me, now i like it haha, this will grow on some ppl perhaps as well. its really out there, but IMO the shape is Very similar to the new toytas (from the front anyway) such as the yarris or the camry or even corola. its the whole bumper protruding forward from the headlights, but i guess its more aerodynamics friendly this way
