I prefer the current one. That is one perfect car. The nose is a big change and I don't really like the bigger headlights, grille and big holes in the bumper with ugly turninglights.

This version also has much more pronounced side skirts and the dummy grills that trail the front wheel arches have been replaced for smaller items more like those BMW use on M models.
Looks OK. This car has struggled to compete in the UK.

I would Think this is a new model whatever I didn't know it had LEDs and did they change the glorious engine?

AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY
ohhh thank you for your soul lol
what were they thinking when they made this car? seriously... people still buy this car, but if they made a TRUE successor to the RX-7... they'd get more sales

after some years all they could do is give it a facelift. im disapointed because its time for a replacement. the taillights are from the S2000 and the front is ugly.

I'm a fan of the current version. This just looks like one of those cheap and tacky japanese cars with unecessary body kit.

Mazda ALWAYS does this.
They take an absolutly brilliant design and make it look cheaper, more subtle and anonymous, and ultimately ruin the design; i.e. the last Mazda 6 facelift
(the coming one is gorgeous however), and 3 facelift.

not an improvement in any way.
How big is the engine? Could it fit in a Mazda2?
now that would be a classic

Other than the slight difference in tail lights, it looks practically the same to me :/, not liking those rims though, or that spoiler.

Wait til you see the western version, those scans are likely to depict an optional body/performance kit Mugen style.
