Now with each year they up the price again and again but with some added luxury touches. I think this year Mazda finally decided that small cars weren't worth it and decided to finally kill the Mazda 2 / Demio by spectacularly smashing it with the ugly hammer. For the forseeable future Mazda will be making premium crossovers.GDIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019645415353916391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-22636546313556298692023-01-29T21:42:47.791+08:002023-01-29T21:42:47.791+08:00The grille looks better if it’s all black.The grille looks better if it’s all black.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-88424417941991045992023-01-29T01:09:59.258+08:002023-01-29T01:09:59.258+08:00Agreed Toyota has no consistent design language un...Agreed Toyota has no consistent design language unlike their sister co Lexus so I'm not expecting much. As for Mazda, I hope 2 won't be a preview of what's to come with the kodo design language especially for ev without grilles. My only complaint with the new facelift Mazda 2 is the sad face, why not incorporate the happy grille of mx5? I think they are aiming for an angry look, since it is small / narrow form factor it looks sad instead. It might look sleeker if the car is wider and have a bigger tire though like on 3 or 6.YellowBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633305452486400038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-64438606870632765282023-01-28T17:54:08.445+08:002023-01-28T17:54:08.445+08:00Are you a gen Z?

It should be "Toyota Cross looks a lot better" not "Toyota Cross is a lot better". Most of the criticisms here (see title) and the ones I quoted are mostly in the visual side so it should mean I was referring to the design.<br /><br />Yeah they might be on a different category but in comparing design it usually does not matter that much. A good example is comparing the massive grills of Lexus IS vs LX 570 vs the new BMW 4 series or the grill of BMW X7. Speaking of grills, the first thing that came into my mind after seeing the new grill of Mazda 2 is the grill of Toyota Cross and the terrible review they got here thus the reason of my first comment.YellowBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633305452486400038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-25984893819842790682023-01-27T17:22:26.200+08:002023-01-27T17:22:26.200+08:00Stop fighting.

Then you twist the narrative that mazda 2 was favored compared to a cross, which never happened because who in their right mind would compare the two. Then to describe mazda 2 getting roasted, you qouted the review from corolla cross. <br /><br />On mazda 2 review, it was described as expensive, purely emotional and irrational. Corolla cross of course was roasted in design, who wouldnt? But then again, why compare the two?? Like why??

It’s just sloppy. And it’s not just sloppy in a “we don’t care, we’ll just draw character lines” on it sloppy; it’s “we don’t give a crap because we’re going to sell a zillion of these” sloppy.'<br /><br />'Much of the online vitriol is directed towards that guppy-like front-end. Sure, that face isn’t exactly pretty, but it doesn’t beat what you see on the other end. Just take a look at that badge placement. Oh my god. For some stupid and weird reason, Toyota designers wanted to put “Corolla Cross” on the tailgate garnish, but just look at that execution. It’s just lazy. With the words, “Corolla” in a small script placed on the left and the words, “Cross” in a much larger script placed in the middle, it doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing at all.'YellowBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633305452486400038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-15471935396723812392023-01-27T14:47:03.586+08:002023-01-27T14:47:03.586+08:00what are you mumbling about? mazda 2 got roasted h...what are you mumbling about? mazda 2 got roasted here and corolla cross was among last year's top 5.
