Random RX8 article from 2001
Google is letting people do searches from 2001 (front page link at google.com). Anyway the first thing I searched was 'rx8'.

http://www.4wdonline.com/Mazda/RX/RX.html

I never knew the concept car that became our 8's had a forward opening hood. Random.

I remember when I first saw the forward opening hood, I thought it was sooo awesome. Now I'd imagine how much it reminded me of the 1st gen RX-7 hood, which I didn't enjoy

Nice find.

I'm just glad they didn't stick with that body work. Way too subtle and econobox looking.
