I like it too. I hope they make a Mazdaspeed version.

Interior looks nice enough, and the not-so-subtle Audi styling cues are definitely apparent. I probably wouldn't kick one out of bed as a daily driver, but it's just not quite sinister looking enough for my taste.
Probably will never happen, but if Mazda churned out a coupe version of this car with AWD and a tuned engine worthy of a MAZDASPEED badge, and I'd take a second look.

Hey! What's wrong with Kia:o
I agree with Barn-- looks like a shatty Audi impersonation.

Wagon looks nice. Although to maximize utility, the cargo area really should be a little more upright.

Buy then it'd look like ur ready to transport a coffin to a funeral. Be happy with the extra space you get over the 4 door.

I just took a look at the pictures. Looks like they toned down the styling quit a bit from the concept model. Kinda sucks. Doesn't look as agressive.

Very nice looking wagon. I'll take my new 2014 Mazda6 wagon in crystalline pearl white mica with the 2.5l skydrive and a 6MT, TYMV. Here's hoping that they bring the wagon over stateside. (Mazdaspeed6 AWD turbocharged 6MT wagon?)

So, I guess my wagon looks like a hearse with its upright rear.

Actually, the concept and the production version aren't that far off:

IDK. To me I'm noticing every little detail and something about the production version doesn't speak as loudly as the Concept. It looks a little toned down and safe. Whats with the rear door windows? The line that splits the bumper and hood? (breaks up the flow) They coulda put more thought into the handle design. Over all it looks like they tried to scale the design to fit a smaller body and did an ok job at it. IDK. It's nice but reminds me slightly of a first gen 6. IDK. Maybe it's the angles but I have to see it in person. I like the concept better.
