Looks like an Accord and the previous model TL mated and formed the side and rear profile. The front end looks like an Infiniti I35.

It looks okay on the outside...maybe a different color will make it look better! The inside is sick tho!!!!

wow.. the concept sketches were really accurate..

i like it a lot except for the overhangs. i really wish they'd get rid of that.. i'm not liking the C-pillar very much, and the way it meets with the trunk lid. otherwise, looks really aggressive and really nice!

this is a really great design. I love everything about it! Especially the glowing gauges...

I just see a lot of Millenia (and Mazda as a whole) in the design. The front especially

Dare I say, it looks rather bland. The front 3/4 view screams Cadillac Catera, and that's not necessarily something you want your brand new flagship sedan to be screaming.





I mean, yeah, it looks better than the Catera, but it's really quite boring.

Looks kinda boring but I'd hold judgement on the looks til I see it in a black or something.
That's a terrible color to use for first images, the color is boring boring boring.
