Momentum Keeps Me Going
^ agreed ASH8, let's hope the non-jp versions have a much cleaner, less tacked on parts external appearance. There's too much going on plastic wize on this vehicle and I agree it's for some reason more Mazda 'sedan' looking. It's getting 'blended' to the corporate Mazda look unfortunately.

Those are kilometers.
As for the facelift: like others mentioned, it somehow makes the car look more sedan-like. That's definitely not a good thing IMO. Someone mentioned Impreza... I agree.
There are only a few minor things I like - the seats and maybe the taillights. The rest is either meh or downright ugly. I'm happy to have the older version and would never swap it for this new one.

On the other hand, I'd wait before ruling out the chance of more power. It was mentioned here a few days ago that there could have been some "cleanup" on the engine castings; also, imagine if there's an improved stock ignition system and a new flash. A couple tens more hp could be possible.

About the Mazdaspeed version don't forget, it's a concept car like the others Mazda 3, 2, MX-5. That's reason why we have the same spirit.

I want the new taillights! I hope they can fit the the current version. I hope we get the auto climate control like the rest of us. The new steering wheel matches the rest of the Mazda family and the updated dash is okay too. The exterior changes are ok, but don't really like the new side vents. They look Ford Focus--and that's bad.
