i can't possibly think of what to change on the exterior, maybe more aggressive headlights

They'd be nuts not to make it match the edgy look of the current lineup (RX-8, Mazda 6, Mazda 3). If you kept the styling of that five-year-old facelift, you'd have a car that still looked, well, five years old. Good, certainly, but five years old.

Aggressive headlights would be a start. An updated grille - still in chrome, but more defined like the 6 - would be next. Then square off the trunk lid a bit - just a hint, really - with new clear-lens taillights and a nice twin-pipe exhaust sticking out under the bumper.

We'd all want it rear-drive-based - we would, right? It should carry at least a 3.2-liter DOHC V6 of 250-275hp or so and be a little bit larger in size, mostly in the rear seat area. (Refer to the Volvo S80 or Ford Five Hundred for a good size comparison.)
