    NC2 was the best. I hate this pedestrian crash bullshit that's destroying insurance premiums and doing $15k worth of damage for someone bumping into you when parallel parking.

    You know the way all this safety BS is going on day we will all be driving cars made by Nerf. If you are not smart enough to get out of the way of a moving automobile then well maybe you don't deserve to.

    It's all for EU safety standards.

    This hood pop-up feature got a lot of press a while back when a poor GTR driver rear ended a white van... the thing did it's job and popped up. Repair bill was something like $10K to fix it all. ( LINK ). I'd almost be afraid to hit a cone good and hard with this "feature".

    Well lets hope that like on the GTR this won't make it on the US models.

    What's the safety feature do, give the driver of the car a SECOND chance to hit them after they roll down the hood?

    It's supposed to cushion the impact of the pedestrian.

    I'd hardly call a new front bumper an NC3... Why even bother with this around the corner???

    Yep. They just announced that they (Mazda) plan to partner with Alfa so they can use the platform for both cars. That means there has been little development. Expect at least two years, probably three or four.

    That front bumper still has that Mazda smile on the front. Why do they do that, why? NC1 is best looking front end.
