The new headlights look awesome! The bi-xenons sure tempts buyers to pay for a premium. 8-way power adjustable seat, i'd never expect to find that in this segment.

Also i love the center grille, notice how small the actual opening is for the radiator? I guess as they said, the efficency improves as they move it lower.

The side profile also looks better than I thought, The current 3 sedan looks kind of ugly from the side.

Awesome job Mazda!!

Interesting what they did to the headlight.



The low beam is shining through the "V-shaped" patterns.

I'm not too crazy about the styling overall, but still, it looks pretty sharp. The smile is a bit on the goofy side. It's like they wanted it to look aggressive, but cute. Pretty nice for an economy car, in any case.

I like it.
I like the breakaway from the mainstream styling with all the angry frowning fascias.

Lessen road rage in a subconscious way. People are too angry these days.

Instead of angry it looks droopy. Like sagging plastic facial surgery.

To me, the front end is goofy looking; esp.. the side gills that sweep back not on the front, more on the side... the driving lights look like they're hung in the wrong place. The 'smile' is simply too large to look stylish IMO. That, and the new unfortunate Mazda mustache thing is spreading apparently.

Perhaps the MS version will get an appropriate more aggressive, serious look
