With the popularity of gaming consoles having grown considerably over the past couple of decades (yes, it’s been that long – for example, the original Playstation was released in 1994), it shouldn’t surprise anyone that manufactures are looking into these devices to promote or even debut their products.
Today, Mazda announced on its FaceBook page that it will be revealing something new on Microsoft’s Xbox console at 8:45 PM EDT on Thursday, June 26.
Mazda’s statement doesn’t really tell us anything about what the big surprise is, but the teaser picture with the “Gamechanger” hashtag does include a car’s front grille, which has led many to believe that the Japanese company may very well debut the all-new generation of the Mazda3 hatchback. Of course, it could be a different car altogether, or perhaps not even a new model. We shall see.
For what it’s worth, the new 2014 Mazda3 is scheduled for a public premiere this fall, possibly at the Frankfurt auto show in September.
