zeitgeist57 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/20/all-new-2011-mazda5-coming-to-geneva/ The "new" face of Mazda is the ugliest thing ever. The stylist should be fired that thought to cut out a huge, gaping hole in the front of all their vehicles, fill it with cheap-looking plastic mesh, and have a lame styling accent to cover the bumper support and license plate bracket. VW/Audi got the whole "unified-grille-and-lower-bumper-air-intake-opening" styling exercise right. Mazda, you fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second Gen Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Looks like they are trying to take the cues off the Furai (Great looking car, but not likely to produced) http://www.supercars.net/carpics/3993/2008_Mazda_FuraiConcept2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I hate how all the new Mazda's are smiling at me. They should just start selling Hello Kitty exhaust tips through the dealerships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Agree, and also the new Acuras are craptastic. Heres a real beauty too: http://media.il.edmunds-media.com/lincoln/mkt/2010/fd/2010_lincoln_mkt_actf34_fd_2_717.jpg dont forget this new turd: http://carclub.ru/news_pics/1280_4a9e23498143a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I was going to make a thread about this a while ago, but I guess I forgot. I fucking despise the new Mazdas, and I don't see how any self-respecting human with working eyesight could possibly even consider buying one of those ugly ass things. If I was at a Mazda dealership and hadn't seen the new ones yet, and a salesman said "hey, come look at our new models" while pointing at a 2009 Mazda 3, I would immediately leave the dealer while laughing hysterically. I hate how all the new Mazda's are smiling at me. They should just start selling Hello Kitty exhaust tips through the dealerships. Agreed. I think they are trying to land a starring role in the next version of this movie... http://reporter.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/05/22/cars.jpg Oh, and this made me lol.... http://www.cargurus.com/blog/2009/08/24/2010-mazdaspeed3-the-most-hideous-new-car-ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I hate how all the new Mazda's are smiling at me. They should just start selling Hello Kitty exhaust tips through the dealerships. I bet there are a few 110lb white American emo, tight girl jeans wearing, wanna-be-Japanese guys on here who would buy every one they could find. The sad thing about Mazda's styling is IMHO they were putting out some of the best looking cars, on average across their fleet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Agreed.........Mazda dand Acura are the 2 worst styled companies in the US. (Yes that includes Kia and Hyundai) Really? I'm liking some of the new Kia's. http://www.motorlogy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010-kia-forte-koup-566x377.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah, Acura really goofed up, with the new giant chrome tooth look. Not sure what the hell they were thinking. The TSX is at least tolerable. The TL with it's giant chrome wing on the front is hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed and still assume you were implying that Kia's and Hyundai's were ugly, but not as ugly as Acura's and Mazda's. A lot of their (Hyundai/Kia) current/new lineup are very nice looking cars. Hyundai Gensis, Genesis Coupe and Kia Forte Koupe just to name a few good looking cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin Miata Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 It's sad that they consider this new face an improvement, but hopefully they will listen to the consumer and change it soon. They started out with great minimalist styling in the early 90's, and even up until 2008 everything looked pretty good. But christ, that picture above comparing the Mazda 3's says it all.

TTQ B4U Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I like the RX8 inspired wheels on the new MS3, and the interior is really nice, but overall, I'm very happy I went with the Generation I style. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/111182451/original.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
