Mazda's dumb =D design is realy pissing me off

[tomtalker2000]

I have a 2010 Mazda 5 Touring edition. And i have to say HANDS DOWN, is a much better vehicle than my 2007 Toyota Corolla S was. Also, i don't believe i am the only one who thinks the '12 new nagare design is awful...!!! I MUCH prefer my older more aggressive design, as i like the vertical tail lights much better. Plus the grille is noticeably more visually appealing to me on my 2010 model. My 2.3 engine with 153hp provides plenty of pep on the highway and when merging.

I love the back design :)

I still prefer the vertical tail lights from the previous design.

@saenzlopez Its not hard to classify for Europe and those markets but no one knows what the hell an MPV is over here in the states well they might think its Mazdas old minivan that this replaced...

@kc2zxl It's made in Hiroshima, Japan. And only in Hiroshima, Japan. Which stinks when you have a semi-major accident, and have to wait for parts. Like two months. Like I did. But I still like the car, and it hasn't had any parts sourced from Escort/Tracer...the 2.5 MZR is Mazda's take on the 2.5 that Ford uses in the Fusion and Escape. BTW, on what basis are you drawing your conclusions?

[kc2zxl]

These are probably made in Mexico, with lots of Ford components, leftovers from the Escort/Tracer days, simply put, not very well engineered. I just can see this thing falling apart after couple of years, I wonder if Ford still has a saying on how it's built. Mazda is one of those companies that have been left back in times never able to catch up; selling outdated technology.

[heartlessvietboy]

That's not Mazda. That's American Wall Street Company.
