I wonder if the Mazda's brake ducts are fake, like Honda's. If so, Honda should definitely sue.

I think it resembles a PT Cruiser, you know, a "cartoon car". The roundy-thing is grating on me.

Nice car. Maybe Honda will be planning to step up to the mark in the next couple of years...

The air vents look like tey have been lifted staight from the new Integra.

the front IMO has a lot more character that the s2k does, but the rears are way too similar. that shoulda just been the new miata.
HONDA coppied the rear of the MIATA... coppied it and did it better of course, so now honda coppied them a bit... i think the engine start won't really be there and that whole triangular ring around it is a bit too "GAY".
i definitely dig the interior... again cause it has more characteristics than the s2k and the yellow additions it has are coolor than honda's plane black int. BUT WHY THE HELL DOES IT HAVE THAT STUPID DOOR OPTION LIKE SATURNS DO LOL????????
and a back seat????????? wat the hell is up w/that...
oh, and a top? nope, that sh*t's gotta be convertible!

I have to agree. Most of Japan's design work is Cookie-Cutter Extraordinaire!!! Except for Toyota, which puts out the ugliest POS cars I've seen (i.e. - RAV4, MR2).

Well, looks like Mazda beat Honda to the chroming of everything. There's chrome around the start button, rear tailights and headlights.
