^Ditto on that.. the front grill looks like the new golf... wait rabbit. Could be a photoshop or a cad type drawing. Looks decent but its not sport enough in my taste's.

Looks like a rendered drawing. Guy who did it has good skills. Don't like the look....but the effects are good :)

That can't be real, the front looks to be 1 foot deep.

Actually its a concept car by CGI Automotive - They're calling it the "2008 RX-3".

That is the 2008 Prius platform, being built for Mazda. It is the end result of the Hydrogen RX8 concept.

Essentially, it is a backwards 350Z. It takes the butt of a 350Z, 1953 Beetle, and Boxter, and basically turns it into the face.

The most unique feature of the vehicle is the "swivel" chair ability. The driver and passenger seats can be turned 180 degrees through use of an electric motor, and there is a discrete steering column located on both ends of the interior.

The reason is to suit drivers' preference, whether they like to have a huge rear view window for situational awareness, or a more traditional, smaller rear window.

It is rumored that the US versions will have "fixed" seating, with the facing direction specified upon order placement.

Wait, WHAT?!?!

This was the last thing I expected to wake up to this morning. It's a new RX-3? It's hydrogen? Prius platform for mazda?

Is this all assumption, or is this something that we'll be seeing more of in some upcoming car shows?
