Revealed.

This is one of the ugliest fucking cars I've ever seen. The front air dam is just way, way too big for a car this size---perhaps anything less than a current Cadillac, that is.
The car needs a grille, not an oversized air inlet and excessive...I dunno, "hood overhang" I guess? Those poor kids will never be able to do a badgeless grille now. Looking at it from the front and it could easily be mistaken for an SUV. The body itself is excessively tall and bulky, especially in the rear quarter panels making it seem like there is more body there than in reality, causing the wheels to even smaller than they are. It still screams Sentra and Paseo to me.

In my opinion, this is many leagues worse than what Mazda did with the 2nd gen 6. I'm not hating just to hate either, so spare me that, but this is just fucking atrocious "design". No flow, nothing works, and that absolutely god awful front end makes me wish I was blind.

Annual Aztek award winner until Mazda replaces it.

Considering Acura's current lineup, I really hope that's mentioned in a negative light.

As a current 3 owner I have to say I am incredibly disappointed in the new 3. It is just an atrocious design... I seriously want to cry looking at it. I feel that they have taken a huge step BACK in the creation of this monstrosity.

lol, the features are beyond acura's lvl actually.
i wonder when acura will consider going "keyless" in all of the lineups.

I'm sure you're all exicited about the next generation BOSE audio!

ZoomZoomSTL · 11-20-2008, 01:51 PM

Now I know why the first picture I saw of the next-gen Mazda 3 was a blurry action photo- it's bloody hideous! I could come to terms with the rest of the car, but the front end is absolutely ghastly. I agree with Business- this thing will be the annual Aztek award winner with a front end like that!

The standard/optional equipment list looks great, but it cannot compensate for the car's looks IMHO.

And I'm sure the Bose audio system will be fine as long as the doors don't rattle. :P
