Another photochop, which may not be consistent with my last post in some details. I'm not pleased with my work either, but if you like it then THANKS! Remember that this is only speculation...

Wow, Mazda sure puts the SLIGHT in "slight revision" huh....lol.

I love the 8, but it sure is getting long in the tooth as they say while I'd love to see a DI Aluminum 1.5L Rotary making 270HP or so....hmmm, did I come close RG/Zoom?

LOL

Man I hope not. I like big grills (Audi, Exo X) but I'm not feeling that one.

Mmm, I think the opening is just the right size for the current model.

Whatever the outcome, i'm probably gonna grow to like it (just like how I felt about the new Accord coupe and last Prelude). Or I'm going to try to hate it because I love the current design.

OR I'm going to hate it because it will turn out better than the current design and I'll be upside-down when I trade my car in for the new one.
