Spy: New Mazda 3 Concept - (Global)

We have been sent these unofficial images from BurlappCars.com of what appears to be an upcoming Mazda Concept car.  With the all new 3 due out globally in 2009, could this be a thinly veiled concept of what to expect next year?

Mazda have gone down this track before with the 2005 Sassou concept being a precursor to the current Mazda 2 that went on sale in Europe late 2007. 

Since the Sassou concept we have seen several concept cars including the Senku (2005), Kabura (2006), Nagare (2007), Ryuga (2007), Hakaze (2007), Taiki (2007), and Furari (2008) from the Japanese company that in recent years appears to be doing no wrong.
