the only mazda car ive ever liked, was the FD, and the NA. other than those 2, i'd never, ever buy a mazda. ive always thought that they were the cheapest cars to come out of japan.

if you ask me, this is the best looking sedan currently coming out of japan.

i cant really explain it, but everytime i see one, i get mesmerized.

i also happen to like the new STi far better than the old sedans.

at many angles that looks like a 5 year old saturn and a bad rip-off of a 5 series.

imo, it seems that the only companies that still have a unique look are lotus and mini.

that happens because the car is ungodly obese, no accord should ever dwarf a 5series, new civics and carollas hitting the scales harder than clk's and new c-class' is a big nono problem too... what happened to cars, they're all fatties now?

I was never a fan of any Mazdas

you dont think FD RX-7 is a beauty? what's wrong with you?

VROOOM · 10-14-2008, 10:12 AM

here's a drawing i found of what the Mazda 3 hatch may look like.

if it look like this and they make a mazdaspeed version i might have to buy one.

jackjack · 10-09-2008, 09:39 AM

BLEH......... personally i think the miata looks like ASS......... well...... at least the new ones

beeracing s14 · 10-09-2008, 01:32 PM

my ex mazda car took more withdrawals in my account more than I personally did. those bitches are no way mechanically trusty. NEVER MAZDA!

ronmcdon · 10-09-2008, 04:20 PM

not the best looking car for sure, but it's certainly much better looking than it's immediate competitors. the hatch & tentative ms3 design should be interesting. aesthetically, i like mazda designs in general.

WanganRunner · 10-14-2008, 09:32 AM

I really like the new 3, I'll be seriously considering one once they're available.

Even the bottom-end base model of the current 3 is a very enjoyable car to drive. Smooth engine response, fun transmission, quick steering, et cetera.

Mazda prioritizes "fun to drive" more than any other mainstream automaker right now, IMO. I'd say that Honda is probably a close second.

aznpoopy · 10-14-2008, 10:24 AM

the furai is sick. they need to mass produce that car. i'd take it over a lotus, seriously.

as for their new car designs... they took the rx8 headlights and slapped on every car they have. and the rx8 headlights came from final gen FD3S FTP lenses. since the FD was pretty much the last really awesome sports car they made, i think that's pretty fitting.

OptionZero · 10-14-2008, 11:56 AM

mazda needs a 2 dr hatch

VROOOM · 10-22-2008, 11:33 PM

pictures of the 2010 Mazdaspeed3 at the Ring

Spy shots: 2010 Mazda3 Mazdaspeed (MPS) hot-hatch - [2010 Mazda3 hatch] - MotorAuthority - Car news, reviews, spy shots

now i want to see it without all that crap. also not to sure about the hood scoop, although the car does have a heat soak problem due to the top mount intercooler.

2010 Mazda3 unveiled ahead of LA Auto Show - Autoblog

Anyone see the facelifted Miata also?

These things look so nice in person.

and the beautiful Mazda 6:

Love the headlights so low like that...

Their direction is exactly what I'm into: Subtle, clean, and fresh. And they don't manage to f designs up like most auto mfgs... (ahem...bmw, honda, acura...)

Props to Mazda.

Yes and no. I'm definitely not feeling the fender flares on everything they have. I am definitely not a fan of the RX8.

VROOOM · 11-26-2008, 03:48 PM

So they released pictures of the new Mazda3 hatch.

allntrlundrgrnd · 11-26-2008, 04:00 PM

looks like the new STi, which I loath.

yeah, im glad i got an 08 they look way better. hopefully when they release the Mazdaspeed3 version it looks a bit better.

***S14DB*** · 11-26-2008, 04:21 PM

Mazdaspeed3 gets horrible gas mileage. Wish they would fix that first...

i get 21 mpg all city driving(stop and go). no freeway. its not too bad, but the car wants you to drive it fast. thats the hard part.

!Zar! · 03-11-2009, 03:21 PM

I was thinking the same thing about how it looks like a wrx to some extent.

But what annoys me is how they moved the shifter over a little to the drivers side but left the ebrake on the passenger side.

I would've rather them simply reverse the RHD interior than to simply redo some of it for eases sake.

lflkajfj12123 · 03-11-2009, 03:26 PM

looks like a ford

Ford sold most of thier Mazda stock they are not the #1 stockholder anymore.
i believe they only own 13% of Mazda now. they sold 20% in Nov 08

!Zar! · 03-11-2009, 03:30 PM

It's not the size that matters.

It's how they use it.

LOL. funny.

i heard a lady friend say that before, and i just busted out laughing at her.

lucky7 · 03-11-2009, 06:37 PM

the reg one look like the old one to me. i dont pay attention to mazda's, so i cant tell the difference. the shots of the MS3 look decent. looks like the new STI, which i am in love with.
but its not... its a mazda.

not my cup, oh wells.

HalveBlue · 03-11-2009, 10:27 PM

Zoom Zoom the fuck outta here.

Mazda, no thanks.

The only model I liked was the first gen Mazda6.

Other than that I find their models bland and forgettable.

But to each their own.
