Well....today.....I stopped at the dealer on the way to town....I was headed in to do my christmas shopping...and stopped in to see if they had any 6's....and to ask if they were getting any MSP's......they had quite a few 6's and told me that they were getting NO MSP's....

anyway.....unfortunately all the 6's they had were autos....but none the less I did give them a good look over as it was the first time I had gotten to see one upclose and in person.....over all the car is very nice...BUT....THE GRILL HAS GOT TO GO!! omg that big chrome piece is sooooooooooooooooooo frickin ugly on the front of the car...and the emblem is just too big....oh please...autoexe get a grill out for this thing QUICK!! other than that....the car looks beautiful....

I'm glad the strip above the grill is black on the P5 instead of chrome like the normal Proteges. I don't think the badge would look as bad if you painted the strip.

I agree nuke....I always thought it was ugly, but hoped it was better in person.

It's gotta go!

ya, i dont' know why mazda thinks those hideous chrome grille trim peices are so good looking. it ruined the way the 6's front looks....

i say we get the atenza grille:

Exactly what first turned me off of the new Civics (amongst other things like the ruined suspension). If I bought a 6, I'd immediately paint the chrome piece a satin or flat black, ala P5. The emblem would get a black chrome coating also. All in all, that chrome would not keep me out of the 6 if I were in the market for one.

I think the thing to question here is: Nuke - It's not the 24th yet, why you shopping so early?
