I saw the ugliest car on the road - the front had a horrible smiley face (completely disproportionate) - every time I looked at it, it reminded me of the Joker.

At first, I thought the car was some really low-end Chinese import (for some reason, cars in Asia all look ATROCIOUS).

The car in question is this:

I didn't realize that Mazda had taken to destroying the design of their cars so readily. How was 2011 even a step forward? I mean, I loved the way the front of my '07 Mazda3 looked:

It had a slightly neutral, yet aggressive look to it.

(The back, I'll leave out - I've never been a fan of the rears of the Mazda3.)

In any case, this past weekend, I saw an absolutely gorgeous car from the back; I thought it was a Lexus or an Infiniti, until I realized it was actually the '10 Mazda6!

If I ever needed a people mover, I'd definitely get the '10 6:

Out of curiosity, I took a look at the '11 model ... and yep, they're also Joker-ifying the Mazda6.

This is the first time I've ever wanted to get an older model of a car - the newer versions of the Mazdas look amateurish.
