I think this one is the hatch, hence the wiper on the back window..

Nice find!

N rider89 02-28-2008 01:16 AM

that front looks very odd.....

tiltmode43 02-28-2008 01:21 AM

is mazda taking the flared fender thing too far? Next thing you know miata's will have the rx8/cx7/cx9/mazda6 fenders...

I guess that wouldn't be too bad in retrospect

rx8phase1 02-28-2008 01:32 AM

hmmm kinda looks like the new rx8 in a bit

Didn't know if you were kidding, but the miata already has the 8 fenders..:lol:
On a personal note, I like the front end on the euro version. The tail lights remind me of the lexus es :icon_no2: and the trunk lid to bumper relationship seems a bit more subtle on the european version.

the head lights are to small and the grill looks to cheap

NaarLeven 02-28-2008 02:10 AM

epic fail mazda

looks awful

faboo 02-28-2008 02:18 AM

it does look a bit odd.....

but not too bad over all

Conundrum 02-28-2008 02:25 AM

I like the Euro/Japan version better

US Trunk, Tail and Head Lights are different compare to Euro, but Euro/Jap. looked better.

Like other said, head light of is too small, it just looks weird when you have a large front. Don't know what Mazda was thinking designing specific one for NA market when the Euro/Japan is perfect the way it looks.

Fortunate Few 02-28-2008 02:51 AM

not bad.

Batman&TheBatmobile 02-28-2008 03:02 AM

epic fail x2

alnielsen 02-28-2008 03:21 AM

I don't think it looks good or bad. It does look vanilla. It probably will do well with the masses.

Mazdaspeed RX8 ver2 02-28-2008 03:49 AM

euro version looks way better but honestly, the style of the current 6 looks better to me.

coolstorm92 02-28-2008 04:22 AM

horrific. it is looking like a 4x4 on those tiny little rims/tires and huge fender wells

mysql 02-28-2008 06:34 AM

I thought the spy shot / concepts of it looked really good, but this looks horrible. It's like they made a $9,000 version of the Mazda3, put CX-7 fenders on it and made it taller.

It's weird that the silver one looks a lot better than the red one.

Huey52 02-28-2008 06:53 AM

WTF is up with Mazda these days? They appear to have sold their creative souls to the beancounters and are just throwing unnecessary plastic on all their models. A shame.

Glad I already have an '02 Mazda6 and an '05 RX-8 in my stable, because I wouldn't buy the new versions.

altspace 02-28-2008 06:53 AM

+1 current 6 design. Who's idea was it to merge the 8 style fenders with the entire lineup? The miata kind of has it, but not as much as the new 6 if you look carefully at the lines.

Macius8 02-28-2008 07:37 AM

It looks like they just chopped the sides flat. I dont like it, would have to see it in person.

JJWASH45 02-28-2008 07:41 AM

the back looks kinda hot.... But im NOT feeling the front.... But it doesent matter to me because the rx-8 is the closest I will come to owning a 4 door car.

FloppinNachos 02-28-2008 07:57 AM

yeah, the back looks really good. The front needs bigger headlights and maybe a chrome grille.

This thread isn't about the rx8.

RX8-79 02-28-2008 08:34 AM

This car is very nice. Nothing in the family sedan class comes close, except the Malibu, and MAYBE the Altima SE.

Rhawb 02-28-2008 08:50 AM

What the hell happened!? Where the hell is that sexy car they've been showing off all over the place? Mazda can't possibly be stupid enough to dump this load of crap on us. No, I refuse to believe it. This is a joke. It has to be.
