What should be noted too, is that the designs coming out for 2011 are post Laurens Van den Acker, and I have to admit Laurens made the most impact on dimensional change for Mazda over his time - creating the looks for the 06-10 series CX-7, CX-9, MPS6 & MPS3, and standard forms of the Mazda 3 & 6..
While its taken some time for the 2010 MPS3 to grow on me, if the new 6 is anything to go by, someone bring him back quick!
