This photo was taken somewehere near the Up Garage, Tokyo when we stop for our dinner early this week. The owner of this Mazda MPV work for Bridgestone Tyre Japan. According to him, he just added a Mazdaspeed full set bodykit and a suspension set from GAB. The wheel is from SSR.
He also DIY the Mazda Front logo with a 3M carbon sticker.
Maybe the owner of Mazda5 in Malaysia will now start thinking on how to get those kits. 
It’s an unwritten law of nature. When two parents have kids, more often than not, their offspring will be quite different. One will have Dad’s eyes, another, Mom’s nose. Some will be mild-mannered, happy and always smiling, and others, well – they will be wicked. Enter the all-new 2010 MAZDASPEED3. From a distance, it may look like its MAZDA3 siblings, with its five-point grille and sleek lines, but one minute behind the wheel will prove otherwise.
For 2010, the MAZDASPEED3 blends the five-door functionality of the all-new MAZDA3 5-Door with bolder, more aggressive styling and exhilarating performance to meet the needs of driving enthusiasts with active lifestyles. Carrying forward the award-winning MZR 2.3-liter DISI Turbo engine, the new MAZDASPEED3 builds on the legendary performance of the original while adding a fresh new look and even better handling.

My comments
In Malaysia its hard to see the Atenza on the road as Atenza is for Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) and for the rest of the world it also known as Mazda 6.
The modification made to this concept car at least for its exterior is almost perfect for me, with a nice big wheel, this car looks great. I dont have the details on the interior or the preformance but I think there is somehthing under its hood, and Its bigger than the normal ones
Wait for official release by Mazdaspeed soon.
