When I first saw the look of the new 3 MPS I too did my fair share of s and OMGs...
But after thinking about it the look of the new 3MPS reminded me of something that took a bit of Manga and a bit of Rob Zombie and smashed it together...quite well.
That's what I liked about it. Controversial and typical Mazda. When every other manufacturer was using the trapezoidal front grill style Mazda went and turned it on its head and added purposeful subtle elements that never cease to surprise you.
It seems they wanted to make a statement and start a style war in a way.
Well....that's my 2cents anyway
