    Default New MPS - Love it or hate it?

    Hey there couple of pics i took at the Melbourne motor show of the mps.
    I myself dont like it and the reasons why.
    1.The front is a big killer for me.
    2.The back end with the bumper and tail lights how they protrude so far out.
    3.The wheels just look cheap and nasty.
    4.I think it should of had a power upgrade from previous.

    I will say i do like the bonnet scoop and the dual exhaust design but that would not make me buy one.

    Im glad i have the 08 model.

    Post your thoughts!!!!!!!!!
    Cheers.

    I'd go the black if I was going to buy one, that smile is waaaay too big, could always have a red number plate and it'd look like this emoticon or this....

    Undecided. It'll probably grow on me. But I still wish the japs would get over that bull **** of putting twin exhausts on four cylinder cars. It's without doubt the most weight adding, cost adding, power sapping useless idea they've ever had.

    yeh not a fan of the new look... i've got an 08' mazda 3 mps... i reckon mine looks 10 times better...

    i'd be interested in seeing how much more power it has then my model and if it's got the new 2.5lt engine as the sp25 does...

    I'm undecided on this one - i'll wait till i see it in the flesh.

    Like it was said before, the front end... it reminds me of a kid in a candy store with a big grin.

    I dislike the floodies... prefer the rectangular (as is on the current). They've taken the mean streak out of it IMHO.

    I think in black, a nice set of wheels (currently look like something off a Hyundai...), and we'll have something to start working with...

    Interesting results so far lol to all those yet to see it in the flesh i left the mazda stand till last at the motor show building up to it and got there and was very disappointed when i got there i took some quick picks and went home but i did get into my 08 mps and felt alot better

    It has lost the aggressive look but there may be a good body kit and some nice wheels who knows.

    Anyone wonder why the hell they didnt design new wheels for it? instead they slapped on RX-8 wheels... Pathetic.
