Agreed. If they get too wild with it, it might be polarizing like Mazda's giant happy face.

Mmmhmmm, designers need to be a little more careful with that type of car; it's aimed at the masses, so if you ailienate too many people your car will be a flop.

I see way more previous gen Mazda 3s around then the new one and I'm sure it's has everything to do with the smiling fish face.

WOW another great entry from Hyundai. If you look at the shape of the car and tone it down into a production shape and it looks like Hyundai is still on a roll

Way too overdone IMHO .

There are some Mazda styling themes, some Infiniti Essence styling themes, combined with Hyundai styling themes.

this came out long before Mazda. frankly i think this lookS fresh. i didn't like the rendering because it was making weird face, but i love this. yes, it's over done because IT'S A CONCEPT. but man, this got to be the best looking hyundai concept ever.

something is seriously going on with hyundai in a positive way.

FWIW I think this is an awful looking concept. I hope nothing that makes production looks this chaotic and overdone.

But this thing isn't smiling. it's very aggressive. also, Mazda3 is selling like hotcake...

yes, it's a trend, but i like it save it for mazda3. mazda3 would've been nice if it didn't smile.
