Exactly what I thought when seeing the pics...damn

Front is alright, back looks like the rear of a Mercedes R-Wagon...after 80 years worth of sagging.

Hmm... it reminds me of one of those old Japanese home appliances, lots of organic curves to it, weird styling. I'm expecting it to cook my rice any minute now.

I like it too. If they would also offer the Speed3 engine option, correction a DIESEL engine aka the Sky-D (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe...rticle1708530/ ; http://www.caranddriver.com/news/car...gines-car_news ), I'll be more than happy to trade in my M3.

The Sky engines

Sky-G

• 2.0-litre, gasoline direct injection
• Estimated fuel economy on next-generation Mazda3: 5.0 litres/100 km or 47 mpg (U.S. gallon)
• North American debut in 2011; no specific vehicle yet announced

Sky-D

• 2.2-litre direct-injection diesel with dual-stage turbochargers
• Estimated fuel economy on next Mazda6: 4.4 litres/100 km or 53 mpg (U.S. gallon)
• North American debut in 2012; no specific vehicle announced

the lines on the side are stupid ... but that nose is what really kills me

[hit26k]

^^ the fog light sections look like bird wings...


what size are those rims? I would rock those in gunmetal.

[hastiej]

I swear Mazda designers really really really liked the movie Cars... and thought... yea.. that could work.. either that.. or it was a pretty big present for someones kid... Here.. look son.. i know how much you liked the Movie Cars.. so all our cars now look like the charaters of the movie...

The rims look like a poor man's version (smaller in size) of the 2010 Mazdaspeed3, RX8 and RX8 R3 rims. Thumbs up.
