Ingres/egress issues perhaps... but dang it, I want to see this be a GT1 car at Le Mans! let alone, in ALMS

this car is probably not intended for road use, but as a design piece it is quite original looking; very nice design and well in line with mazda design philosophy

Wow...I like this car alot...Would love to see Mazda return to the serious sportscar realm with an RX7 replacement...This car looks special...More options for us cardudes is where its at...Round 2 of the Japanese supercar invasion hopefully...The RX8 as nice as it is just wasnt enough to fill the gaping hole in Mazdas lineup with the demise of the RX7...That thing sounds sweet except at idle...

It's somewhere between disturbing and cool. The nose looks like it's from Aliens or something and sides are about the same, but it looks good.

that car is seriously ugly. it seriously looks out of proportion from the front. But at least it looks like a bat out of hell and goes like one too.
