It really does so much like a mini Mazda 6, even more so now. Here’s a video of the lighting inside

No hatch video yet. Might come next month.

My current 3 hatch is sort of a weird thing.  Some angles I absolutely love it, others it looks too long and awkward and I hate it.  I’ve noticed that the KODO design language is tricky like that.  I’m still holding out hope for the new 3 hatch.  Adding AWD to my stable has been on my mind a lot lately.

They’ve made the 2019 even more longer(and THICC) in the back, especially vs. the 2018s

I like that. I though the previous 3 sedan looked great except from the rear/rear 3/4 view where the proportions just didn’t look right to me . This looks better.

If you draw lines from the rocker end up thru the windshields they actually look to have kept the same front end length and rear overhang.  Those are the ones that get goofy to me in some angles.  The rear pillar thickness doesn’t bother me much as those are already blind spots on my current gen 3, it will be slightly better with a backup camera and I added blind spot mirrors.  I just really hope they fixed the rear window air buffering that I get when I open only the rear windows.  That resonance kills my ears and sometimes I just want some fresh air flow thru the back windows.  I can’t do this on my 2015.

That buffeting is horrific on my S3 as well.  One of the auto-up switches for the driver’s side rear window is a little particular, so I accidentally left it down and started to feel a weird sensation of pressure/booming as I accelerated to a normal speed.  Will never make that mistake again!

Should I assume you’re close? Could you go take a video when they get the new 2019 hatch?

I’m like 30 hours away by car... lol. I just found it funny how he said it.

But sure, if I pass a Mazda dealer and they have the 3 hatch, I'll poke round it.
