That nose is sexy as hell.

 

Damn I like ike it.

 

initially it looks nice. but, the more i look at it, the less i like it. the front bumper's 2 side air holes look too big- makes the car look like it's laughing or something. and, what's with that space shuttle wing? maybe it just doesn't look good on gray...

 

i dont know, the front bumper looks llike a cartoon char laughing or smiling.

 

and the wheels...shall we go on? yeah just not liking it.

 

reminds of the Joker from Batman. hmmm. I don't hate it!

 

i'm not a big fan either - the smiling/laughing face references are spot on. not quite what i would call 'aggressive' as the authors of the article seem to believe.

 

design wise that bumper is better than almost everything else out there, i wonder how well it performs as an aerodynamic enhancement though,

 

My 4 year old daughter already says that this car is smiling. I'd rather it have a Joker like smile than the happy face smile. You guys are right about the wing though, it is definitely too much.

 

 

What some 'writers' file as a review (really filler material) of something is amazing. The guy pretty much totally focuses on a front bumper and says the rest of the car is pretty much the same even with new suspension, braces, engine mods, etc. and then proceeds to NOT review the car at all and NOT even show pics of the aformentioned mods!?

To bad, meh. He must of got a new video cam for Christmas.

 

I don't like it.

 

Gross...

MS front still looks the best on the 8 IMO.

 

No.

Reminds me of the joker from Batman

 

So basically they over stretch the original design for the bumper, add a little extra, add a hugely unnecessary wing, and briefly mention a "Mazdaspeed 8" (yea sure it was) then vaguely mention some suspension mods...all this and we're supposed to be impressed? Ummm in a word....NO

 

It sounds great in the vid though - at least.

 

yea i think it sounds good too
