More pics and info up.

It's...it's....smiling at me.

wtf is with the smiling front end and the black plastic around the fogs,
it appeals less and less to me now...
looks like a few changes to the interior...

 

[skylar2ups]

From the side the sedan does kind of look like a neon... I just can't get over the front and the taillights... I want to see it in a dark color.

I almost think it's too aggressive looking for its own good. And the overwhleming amount of black plastic is a bit distasteful.

A bit? I'm hoping black mica will hide the fact that Mazda put plastic all over the front of our beautiful cars replacement.

 

[Hank3]

Well...I didn't want to sound too harsh

 

[DaleNixon]

Don't fear the plastic!

 

[rahne]

lmao, that needs to go in the rice pic thread!

Exactly! the grills shape also doesn't look appealing to me. Peugeot did the same when they changed their 406 to the current 407, which sports a similar looking grille. IMHO the 406 looked a lot nicer, and the 406 coupe was a pretty clean looking car.

I'll reseve my final opinion until I see the new 3 in person(I didn't like the new 6 based on pictures, but when I saw it in person I liked it), but for now, I'll think that by buying my car 4 months ago, I got the timing of my car purchase juust right.

The interior looks nice, but dare I say, the exterior reminds me of the blue toyota matrix my sister just got?

 

[Hank3]

Looks pretty good.

Agreed, the outside looks like a matrix a little bit and I dont realy like those cars, but I gotta see it in person to judge it. The interior does look sweet though.

Thats a big MEH for me....hope the MPS version is better...

295ft/lb should be pretty rorty though!!

 

[skylar2ups]

I think if you mated the Matrix and Impreza it would birth the new 3.

 

[TRDMS3]

so the cat's officially out of the bag!!!
Big meh from me (scratch) (scratch) Matrix look alike indeed, I already predict what the speed is gonna turn out to be like curious to find out the engine specs tho

dunno didn't quite live up to my expectations, who said the new smiling front looks far more agressive?? ah well guess that's the new look and there's no way but to accept it.

All newer cars adopt the stretched out headlights now.

 

[hyperpm]

hmmm it looks like the current matrix.
