So not to forget the Asian Mazda5 rebadged twin, the Ford I-Max

Of course more info has popped up since somebody posted it here. Nice car, but still, doesn't cut the whole cheese IMO

Ford is always pimping Mazda's good stuff.

 

[dreamym5]

so.. it is evil twin of Mz5...(enguard)

bleh. looks like a ford focus took advantage of my MZ5 and they had an ugly baby.

**Note to ford** Save the money from the G**damn redesign and invest in some marketing already for this fantastic car that you already made here with the magic "M" on the grille.

Looks like that 5 went up and got some Taurus bling for its grillz. Time to get crumpin fo shizzle!

I-MAX

seriously though, I must admit that I much prefer the tails on the I-Max over the stacked monstrosities we were given.

I-Don't-Dig-the-I-MAX not even with a free iPhone...

seriously though, I must admit that I much prefer the tails on the I-Max over the stacked monstrosities we were given.

My summary:

• 2006-2007 black bezel ones modded with LEDs: Finally something decent
• 2006-2007 black bezel ones (Grand Touring US): OK, I can live with them
• 2006-2007 gray bezel ones (Sport, Touring US): Needed to grow on me, I'm OK now
• 2008 LEDs (Touring, Grand Touring US): Would it hurt to have added some extra LED$$$ next to the 3 LEDs bar?
• 2008 Regulars (Sport, US): Geez, What the hell? OK, I'll keep them just because is safe and because is the law

X2 I have a 2008 GS (canadian base model) and I'm still not used to the fugly lights. I would retrofit the 2006-2007 black bezel ones at anytime but my girlfriend (who happens to be the actual owner) find the '08 just fine.(dunno) I guess that I will need to learn to love them.

OK, what is up with Ford and the fender vent thingys (behind the front wheel)? They look garrish on the Focus and even worse on the i-max. I know years have gone by, what what happened to the Designers in the late 80s-90s who made the Thunderbird, Taurus, Contour, etc? There were at lease some decent looking cars. The only thing I like on th i-max is the grille. It does look pretty nice. Not sure about the taillights. They just seem way too small for such an expansive rear end. The in-mirror turn signals are pretty cool and look like a direct retrofit... I suppose an interesting question is what not sell the i-max in the US? Ford desperately needs sales and we all know Mazda isn't too keen on advertising anyway. seems like a good fit for the current US car market.

FORD needs a make over.

Maybe they could change their name to DROF and instead of the blue oval they could use a blue circle.

Oh yeah then they need to learn how to build attractive and reliable automobiles.
