The Most Beautiful & The Ugliest Cars: Mazda

[cawimmer430]

MOST BEAUTIFUL


1969-1972 Mazda Luce Rotary Coupe - An Italian-styled Japanese car, but it's pretty!






1976-1980 Mazda RX-5 - These are beautiful coupes. A shame that they are so rare in Europe.






1977-1979 Mazda Luce - Gorgeous sedan. Elegant and dignified-looking. Love it. 






1978-1982 Mazda 626 Coupe - A handsome coupe and pleasing design.






1978-1985 Mazda RX-7 | Savanna - Nothing needs to be said about this classic and iconic design. Beautiful car. 






1988-1991 Mazda RX-5 - A JDM-only car, I always thought this was a very cool and good-looking machine. It could also pass for a futuristic Buick LeSabre!






2013+ Mazda 6 Wagon - Both the sedan and wagon are gorgeous.






UGLIEST


1981-1987 Mazda Cosmo 2-Door Hard Top - I love boxy cars, but this one just looks bizarre. It looks related to the Subaru SVX.





1985-1991 Mazda RX-7 - Always hated this generation of RX-7. The convertible looks especially ugly.






1991-1998 Mazda MX-3 - Looks like a potato...





1992-1998 Mazda MX-6 - Looks like a squashed potato...

I've always liked the Millenia.  Not beautiful by most standards, but a nice clean look.

The last generation RX7's absence is conspicous. Maybe the most beautiful Japanese car ever and certainly one of the best looking cars of the 1990s

No love for the Cosmo?

There isn't a straight line to be found in that design, therefore Wimmer considers it either boring or ugly.

A nice and legendary car, but it's not that beautiful to my eyes.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it doesn't mean it's correct.



Easily one of the most beautiful Mazdas ever made.

Mazda Lantis.


Same guy who did the Panamera, did this. Yet somehow, he made the Panamera look like trash

I came in here expecting Wimmer to put some bullshit 70s cars on his list and leave off the FD3S.

There is nothing beautiful about this.



It's the sedan version of this.



And a store brand imitation of America's worst period in design.

[Laconian]

The 3 rotor Cosmo is gorgeous and the interior looks like it's from 20 years in the future.

With all the screen love I'm surprised the wraparound dash hasn't made a comeback. I loved it in the 92-96 Prelude too.



Fuck, that's exquisite.

Buick has been rocking wraparound/near-wraparound style dashes.  The quality of execution can be debated on some, but.

[Laconian]

It's there on the Cosmo too!

[12,000 RPM]

Yea I'm talking true wrap around, no binnacles. Used to be a standard in American cars, but naturally the execution left much to be desired

Why are you so offended about my personal subjective design tastes?   

I like sedans and coupes and I especially like them from the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. If you don't that's cool.

Embrace the Luminessence!

[r0tor]

It's aging very well

That's a wraparound?
