I like the fact that I don't see a single rotary styling accent.
Hmm...
I don't know if the exterior is an improvement over the current car or not, but I dig the optional Recaros!
Other than that, not much to write home about. Some minor suspension tweaks, a revised rear-end ratio to improve acceleration a little bit, and an "R3 Package" that includes the gunmetal finish 19" wheels seen above (19" wheels?), Bilstein shocks, those yummy Recaros, and a 300W Bluetooth stereo.
Meh. I'll keep mine. But I would like to get my hands on a pair of those seats...![]()

I like the fact that I don't see a single rotary styling accent.
Do I see teeth in the front grille? I look at the front and I swear it's saying "I like to eat small children!"
The front view is sexy, but I can't get past the side view front fender wagon-wheel lines.
YUCK, the front bumper looks like it has sh*t on it's upper lip.

I think it's a bit of an improvement - and I like the wheels too!
...but when are we going to get a proper 2-seat RX-7???

I think it looks worse than the current car, except the Recaro. It is like putting lipstick on a pig! I dont' mean the current car is a pig. The designer just ran out of thing to improve upon the original design! Why Mazda not putting the money in improving the car than on some stupid styling exercise!
