Student designed Mazda Coupe
Looks ok except for the 4-door civic looking rear end. The tail lights almost look modeled after the FD though

Front and rear look terrible. Overall a good starting point, but it looks like the person took parts of many other designs/concepts and threw them all together...AKA, no real flow to the design, but a good starting point.

Looks like the same typical futuristic concepts thrown around from many other auto makers. There isn't anything in there that seems to be distinctive to set it outside the box of norm as it's own creation.
I'd of left that on papers as a concept and kept working on the design. The front end is. .... yea...not inspiring in a sporty term IMO.

Momentum Keeps Me Going
I think we need some new (innovative) students. That Mazda thing is wrong on so many levels..it doesn't flow front to rear; the front is plain and weird at the same time and I suppose there are headlights somewhere in there(?); the fender/door/pillar meeting is awkward and distracting; the hood crease there is out of place; no I don't want never-ending glass over my head; the side glass/roofline is perhaps the only sleek looking styling element, borrowing from a Passat or Mazda 3 sedan.
Overall I give it a "C-", bland and no-name look, no noticeable Mazda styling traits, doesn't evoke any (good) 'wow' feeling at all. On a positive note, it would fit into the Ford lineup of industrial design cars well.

I dont know the Kabura is so ten years ago,, Mazda design laguage has made leaps and bound since the Kabura the best thing Mazda could do is keep going with what they have now,,, and evolve the Furai into thier next flagship sportscar, its all already there all they need to do is swap out the Rene3rotor for a 16X and put some blinks on it and call it a day,,,
