Nice, looks better than Infiniti, wave lines are more natural/flowing.

Enough with the concepts, Mazda!

Mazda, your concepts are awesome, but when the design cues are finally implemented, THEY SUCK! Look at how you butchered the new Mazda3 and put the same face on the entire lineup.

What did you do, hire Michael and Janet Jackson's plastic surgeon as the chief of design?

BTW, I do like this concept.

Ah, for a second there I was thinking "Mazda is the coupe factory"...this design seems nice though, and I agree the curves are more fluid.

I am more concerned that Mazda will produce another torqueless wonder than I am worried that the new car will not be a looker

Hey, I drive a POS torqueless RX8 and it gets along quite fine, thank you very much. Yes, it's not a V8, but sometimes you have to look at the overall package.

no torque and flying apex seals but they sure are fun!! And I thought Mazdaspeed3/6 made 280 lb.ft torque? I think that's quite a lot...

back on topic, not bad looking, even if it's student designed.
