I have to agree with Patrick George; in fact I think it's better looking than the Mazda3 (blasphemous, I know). I think the sedan is also better looking than the Mazda3 sedan.

I completely agree.

I work at a Hyundai dealership; it's gonna be hard recommending the Accent with a straight face.

About a 600% improvement over the current Mazda2. I'd drive one.

I suppose I'd let it date my daughter, but that face ....

Would like to see a Mazdaspeed version to take on the Fiesta ST. Mazda finally has an attractive lineup again. Like 2006 all over again.

It'll take a while for me to love it. The old Mazda 2 is responsible for my user name and my love of small cars. It's always been the benchmark for how good small cars are for me. It'll be hard letting go of the old one, but it's time for me to accept this new one.

From the front door forward I like. Mazda hatches give off the dog taking a shit vibe to me.

Totally agreed. And B-segment sedans usually look terrible. The only other good-looking B-segment sedan is the Chevy Sonic.

I'm pretty amazed that Mazda managed to make such a short, narrow, and comparatively tall shape look so good.

Looks a bit "dumpy". Love the current Mazda design language, but it seems like it works better on longer canvas.

But compared with the others in the class, it's a win. Hope they sell the piss out of it.
