After releasing a bevy of "spy photos" of the new 2010 Mazda3 hatchback on Friday and officially revealing the new look of the new Mazda3 sedan, Mazda's now dropped a quartet of camouflage-shedding teaser shots. The four shots reveal the new Mazda3 5-door ahead of the official dropping of the cloth at the Bologna Motor Show in just a couple of weeks. Official details are sparse, but we've got the full release from Mazda below the jump.
