Gorgeous. @because_murica probably thinks it looks like a Ford Probe.

That's legit gorgeous. 18-23 S550? Not so much.

Wasn't the Probe a joint venture with Mitsubishi?

I believe so. One of the most Japanese-looking American cars ever.

Close…Mazda

The Ford Probe is a liftback coupé produced by Ford, introduced in 1988 and produced until 1997. The Probe was the result of Ford's collaboration with its longtime Japanese partner Mazda, and both generations of Probe were derived from the front-wheel drive Mazda G platform that underpinned the Mazda Capella.

More interesting stuff like Mazda owned Flat Rock (I didn’t know that).

Cross between a Fusion and a Probe.... little bit of Accord in there if you look at the rear quarter glass.

Me too. AM’s are timeless. My favorites are the early DB9’s. This is a 2009. Not bad for a 13 year old car.

With some new LEDs and wheels, that could pass as a new car. Kinda like how the '05 ford gt with retrofitted lights similar to the current car looks amazing.

Mazda, aka the coolest and most underrated Japanese car brand. Seriously, if you're ever in the market for a Japanese car, screw the rest of those losers and give Mazda your money. They deserve it more than most brands. Did I mention I love Mazda?

True, but I think the design looks quite good. Better than the mid 90s mustang generation that preceded the new edge for sure... oh some people on this site are going to shred me for that statement.

Hmm I should have picked up on the RX7 lines... Yeah Mazda is the only Jap maker where "fun to drive" is the core ethos. Ford would do well to get a fresh injection.

The DB9 looks so much better than any of those. BTW, the Fusion with the Ashton nose came a few years later.

2024 taillight style lifted from Hyundai Sonata

Turnabout is fair play.

Because most people live sad little lives and can barely afford the cars they have. So, naturally, they feel threatened by the idea that something new is coming out that is better than what they have.

I feel threatened by every 911 and many Ferraris. The new Mustang? Not so much.

But I do live a sad little life thank you very much.

I must be the only person that likes it

Nope.

will gladly take the car on the right. Even if I have to pay more at the Rental counter.

It's core to their ads, most of the cars, not so much. I do think the Miata is great. I wish I fit into it.

…I guess I need to clearly state when I’m joking.

LOL, I should have known.

Styling is a homerun for me, it INSTANTLY made 2015-2023 cars look like pre historic dinosaurs.

You don't like It then grab a C8 or Mclaren or whatever.
This will look super sharp next to the old foxbody.

You should work at work...for sales. I needed that hyperbolic joke.

the Mazda Protege 3 and P5 were a hoot and a half. But that was 2003'ish. Forget the 80's I want the late 90's and early 2000's back.
