They are awful grainy for such a close shot. Even cell phone cameras have better resolution.

Could have been taken undercover with a concealed camera Al..?..
Like a "tie camera"....

IMO this is more of a prototype, not quite production ready, as the Grille chrome treatment sticks out way too far and too sharp to pass pedestrian safety regulations.

Will be toned down, but overall close to the new Kodo/ Mazda 6 look.

Yeah, I hope they revise the shape of the vehicle, right now the front looks kinda like a bloated whale IMHO...and the back a partially flattened Infiniti FX35..

It's alright, but it doesn't look sporty anymore.

rendering look at the door line for the rear doors. Doesn't make sense how the door open with the line going up to the window like that

its a rendering printed out and laid on a table or maybe pinned to a wall which probably has others with various renditions. no telling how far along they are on choosing a go to production final design
