Interesting.
I'd have to see a more complete picture to decide yes or no, especially a shot of the rear.

that's an awesome concept car. now let's see if it gets butchered (like nissan's hatchback concept) before it's put in production

Woah! RX-8 with a much needed shot of testosterone.

I think it looks like blegh :p

Maybe I'm old-school, but I think cars are looking way too futuristic lately...

is anyone here attending the detroit auto show this year?

this car is making its debut in 6 days and some pics from various angles would be sweet.

Interesting.

I was just reading in the paper that the designer who penned the Solstice and Sky has left GM and joined Mazda North America.

This design reminds me of a cross between Solstice and an RX-8, but according to this article, Franz von Holzhausen wont "officially" join Mazda until Feb. 21.

Maybe I only see the resemblance (mostly to the Solstice coupe I have seen pics of) since I just read the article. :confused:

Not feelin it. Pretty generic contemporary design. Anyway, its going to be the same problem that historically plagues Japanese cars. They always look great from one angle but look silly from all others.

looks like a Z had beer goggles, took an RX-8 home at closing time, and forgot to use a condom.

damn homie, props to Mazda for taking a chance like this. Ass reminds me of a Datsun. Nose does scream RX8 though.
