Man... It's about time! Hated that grill. And now the hyundais are following that trend too.
The new grill definitely looks better. Resembles the ford focus front.

I like that...looks like a lowered cx5
Now available with only the akyactiv engine? Meh. Needs more turbo.

Maybe it will get the 2.2 liter turbo diesel. That would be interesting. I'll take mine with a 5 speed manual, thanks.

That's exactly what came to my mind also! They lost some aerodynamics by raising the hood & no more sloping down to the grille. To be made in Mexico ??? Not too sure I agree with that BUT business decisions are all about making money. Glad to see the "smile" gone!

Hey lannvouivre,
Please start a new thread for the CX-3. This thing is SHARP! I swear I was just thinking I wanted sub-compact version of the CX-5 this afternoon! I am sure it will never come to the USA (unless Buick Encore sells a million).
