To my eyes the front looks good. At least it's no longer the joker from batman face. I really do not care for that screen sticking out of the dash. Looks bad on the Mazda 3 & looks worse here. Over all I think it looks much better than the outgoing car.

 

No....... That is what the new RX 7 or Rx 8 is being built for.

 

Make a Mazdaspeed version and I'm all in!![emoji41]

 

The RX 7 / RX 8 will be targeting the 911. The twins are no big deal, they are all looks and no go.

 

Not look'n so much like a chick's car any more. Nice.

 

It was kind of an odd event--it wasn't really an unveiling more than a glorified sneak peak, and to Mazda's credit they never really said it was anything more than that--I know the auto journalists going in weren't expecting specs and such, they may not even be finished tidying all that up.
We'll see what happens this weekend, but I doubt we'll get into the serious nitty gritty until the Chicago car show.

 

I love the new look. Now give it some power to go with it and no body will claim it's a click car anymore. Roamer is that they are looking at a coupe version. It would be lighter than the vert.

 

I like the use of cheap chrome...... NONE

 

I like it, and would really like a coupe version probably. I would shoot the shooting brake version right where it sits. Never will understand why anyone would want that BMW thing above, much less a Miata version.. If you need more room buy something else!! Like a MINI haha!!! Just hope by the time it reaches us in 1.5 years or so it doesn't gain weight once they move the steering wheel to the other side for us U.S. folks.. ( Think MINI Coupe, lost the back seat but gained 58 pounds )

 

The steering wheel is on the wrong side.

 

The looks of the BMW M3 Coupe / hatch are very deceiving. Eric the owner Helix has (2) of them and they are bad ass little cars.

 

Yup the old bionic clown shoe, but now he has a pair.

One of the things I admire most about Mazda is the amount of involvement in motorsports and what they are able to achieve for such a small company, ZOOM ZOOM.

 

Hasn't stopped MINI from still making the coupe/roadster and Paceman. :lol:

Make it a limited edition model and charge a premium for it (maybe even use the Porsche model of stripping it of all but the bare options and charging a premium) and I would bet that they could make a profit.

 

BMW can afford to do stupid stuff, lots of folks are willing to buy whatever BMW/MINI puts out. Mazda can't afford to make a mistake.

Looking closely at the pictures of the new MX5 I don't see the classic hard top attachment points on the rear deck. Looks like the third brake light would interfere too. That being said I bet there's a hard top coming along.

 

Wonder if they will bump up the HP to BRZ numbers of 200 or alittle better!!! Currently at 167 or something like that... I wish they would but doubt they will jump it 30-35 hp..

 

In 12 years or so it will down to my price range. :wink:

Sure glad I'm happy with my NA. :biggrin5:
