I'm a HUGE fan of Mazda's cars, and an MX-5 is on the very top of the list of cars I hope to own before I kick the bucket. Super fun cars.

That being said, I'm not a fan of the styling of the new Miata. The front end just looks too long. I'll probably warm up to it eventually though.

It's alright looking, not ugly but nowhere near "sexy". I like the all new 2014 corolla, that's a good looking car for the price!

The couple of issues I have with these new cars are the lack of actual bumpers and the computers. The bumper is flush with the body on most modern cars and therefore does not "bump" anything. When you hit something it causes damage to all of the area instead of just the bumper which is designed to be sturdy and move the object instead of crumple into it. These flush bumpers provide little in the area of bumping. Also these computers are annoying. That's all fine and dandy now but in 15 years when they've all but failed where will you find replacements? A lot of people are running into this problem now. Their 2004 cars are crapping out due to computer issues (the mailbus do it) and there are no replacements. I can't imagine a 2015 car sitting in a junkyard in 2030 with an infotainement system (gps, touch screen things) and other computers being rained on and such. So what will happen when these computers reach the end of their operational cycle? Do we really need a computer to monitor our tire pressure? Soon the cars will be like everything else, replace once every 4 years. I could go on but I'll end my rant here.

I think the 2014 Corolla is nicer personally...

I like it.

The original was better, but at least it's going the right direction in size and weight.

Weight shaving is something that I always like to see. Shaving weight is tough while still complying with safety regulations. It's a neat car. I was never a fan of the MX-5.

Eh...glad it has lost a little chub and gotten back to it's pocket-rocket roots, but I can't say I am a fan of the baby RX-8 look.

Personally, I prefer the original "used bar of soap" look to this one.

Ah man, guess that's where we split. I like the used bar look but I really like the aggressive look of this new one, I like "pointy" cars not the biggest fan of soft face cars. Kinda why I don't like the 1995+ geos, in my opinion they are roundly softy kinda bleh.

I like the straight edges much more. For example, the EF9 is so much cooler than the EP3 in my opinion. Both civics, about a 10 year difference in age.





Not the best photo of the EP3, but I want you to know what it looks like stock. They are straight butt ugly (The whole generation). And that's the dang Si!
