I'll be the dissenting voice. This car reminds me of the Buick Enclave, a car I spent about 2 hours looking at on Sunday as I was stuck in traffic next to one driving home from Wisconsin.

Both of them look overstyled to me. They have swoops and curves for the sake of swoops and curves, and I don't think they will age well. They are just too gaudy and look like they are trying too hard. I'm still not convinced on the new Accord, but at least it is a little cleaner than this.

Stack, you gotta admit if you had to pick a buick that would be it.

Awesome profile (not a big fan of trunks, so this sedan did an admirable job in changing it up a bit) and silloughette. Details are a little over the top IMO (kinda like inthe lower grill/fog light section). Overall, quite impressive.

I've always liked the flexibility of the five door model and have driven one more than once (my brother has one; a '03 v6 auto). I never felt it had great feel on the road and the interior is a little cheap feeling... he has been OK with it but complains has neither power or good fuel mileage.

Perhaps this revision adds the refinement it needs. I like the styling and expect the price will be reasonable.

Lots of Lexus IS there. Not diggin' the interior.

Oh, and of course, it needs a drop and a lip.

That's like saying "If I gotta pick an STD, syphillis is the one to have!"

looks alot like...a...acura integra...no....yes...a tsx...close enough. nice looking car, a real improvement over the current car which i never was fond of.

quality with mazda is spotty, so it reliability, but bang for the buck, that is their strong suit...you get alot of stuff and choices over other brands.
