The new Mazda BT-50

So this is pretty different.

The front looks great



Not so sure about the back end though

the RX8 was gonna get canned soon anyway
thanks to the europeans killing it it came quicker than it would of
the RX9 should be out soon and its gonna be turbo charged
a throw back to the 80's-90's RX7

Another fugly smiling mazda... Im hoping this is the last of the smilies we will see on new mazda's

Not a fan of the tail lights, but overall it looks like a dolled up Mitsubishi Triton, and they too are unpleasant to the eye...

If I were in the market for a dual cab 4x4, i'd be putting my money into an Isuzu D-Max...
