I dunno, I kinda like how my car looks lol. I also have no problems with the NC miata, although it can't hold a candle to the NB (for size reasons alone, not to mention the fact that the NB miata shares so many cues with the rx7).

I liked it on their Furai concept car from a couple of years ago, it has an amazing organic look that nobody else seems to have. Kind of a throwback to some of the 1920s-30s era cars with swoopy fenders, etc, but modernized.
But the execution on cars like the 3 in real life is a different story...

I hated it and I'm glad they're getting rid of it.
I just hope they do "Japanese Alfa Romeo" better than Subaru did. 
cheers,

The NC miata was definitely improved by that grill though.

I didn't like it, but I've seen a lot worse. It wasn't so much the smile as the sheer size of it and the triple smile on the MS3.

Ok, I'll bite, but on the 3 it was just simply hideous. It ruined what was the best looking car of the econocar class (previous gen 3)
