Title: New Mazada 3?
Post by: The Architect on February 17, 2009, 06:40:47 PM
Has anyone seen the new Mazda 3?

It looks like it was designed by the Joker and I don't mean the the Heath Ledger Joker.  More like a harmless cartoon Joker.

Before this design, I liked the Mazda 3.  Good on gas, decent size and it looked good.

Not a fan of the looks, but it got a good review in Automobile, which is my favorite car mag.

I like the Mazda 2 and I would certainly choose that after seeing BP's new IZcar!   [cheeky]

Uncanny how it looks like the Joker [laugh]

It looks like the Civic that ate the canary.

You know of all the Japanese makes, I always hold out hope that Mazda will come out with something beautiful and distinctly Japanese.  I hope they will make another RX-7 Mk III, only better.  Excepting the the new Lexus ISes (which are still unapologetically Euro-influenced), that is as good as Japan gets in my book.  Not this time, I guess.

I think the guy that designed the front end needs to get off the shrooms or whatever it is.  It looks like a cartoon car.

Asked the wife for her first thought when I showed her the pic "It's smiling at me!" Then I asked her if she would buy it, "Nope".  Went to the Mazda USA site and showed her the current one "Much better"...


Pretty much sums it up from a girl's POV...

I'm hoping the 2011 Speed3 will look better.  It is will not be produced for the 2010 model year.
