Not feelin' it. I like the looks of the current one better.

Overall it looks OK, but I'm not a big fan of the front gigantic gill filled simile bumper, and the back one needs to loose a couple of inches.

I think it'd look a lot better if they painted the grille body color... but overall, I like it.

Can they make the hoop scoop any bigger! It looks too cartoonish from the front. I don't think the front works with the rest of the car. The rest of the car is OK. The inside is a little "dark". It can use some red stitching or something.

Waaaaay too happy. Let's hope AutoExe or someone comes up with a nice replacement for the front bumper cover. Ugh...

That bumper opening doesn't look that great, but think of all the air flow to the radiator, and with as much hp as these things make I'm sure they need all the cooling they can get. I think what I would do to solve the bumper problem is try painting the black strip that says MPS in the posted picture body color and I think that would make it look much better. Any photoshop person want to give that a try? sxk122 even?

It looks like a Scoobydu rear ended a Mazda3, violently.::BaHump::

This is what happens when a Subaru WRX and an RX-8 have a baby.

I think it needs the CapuchinSpeed front bumper instead.

MS Paint for the win.

I don't have Photoshop on this computer. If I remember, I'll try give it a body colored grille later in the week. I'm with Goofygrin, the other lancer owner, on this one.... the front end got hit with the fugly stick.

Excellent! It surpasses my expectations in every way. Post up if you do get around to the photoshop, or anyone else for that matter.

I'm also a fan of the look of the new lancer, gts, and evo. This was my desktop for a while before the evo x came out.

I think a Foose-type two-tone would help hide the SMILE, painted right along the body crease on the side, flowing into the top of the grill. Otherwise, I'd have to paint the grill body color, maybe with pin-striped edges. As is, too happy.

I'm just not feeling it. Not only is the front Fugly it is not to scale with the rest of the car. To bad they didn't make it AWD to really compete with the WRX and EVO. Either I'm becoming old and grumpy or new cars are getting worse.

I vote for "jaded from driving Carrera GTs and GT-Rs". Not that I'm bitter or jealous or anything. (Bastard.)

Saw a normal 2010 Mazda 3, and it was horrible in person.

It's just not right

It looks like who ever drew the front end was very very happy, right along the verge of being high. I can remember my younger, possibly drug induced days, I'd smile so big and for so long that the next day my cheeks would hurt, and that grille makes me remember those sore cheeks.:drink:
