RX8 Lookalikes

The mazda RX8 shape has been borrowed by both the CHEVY SS and the new Alfa 157 do others see the similarities .?

more obvious however than general design trends of the wheel arches and coupe lines.
is the unusual part line around the top rear hinged door. this detail really stood out to me,
as it is incongruous to the overall lines. It has proven to become a new aesthetic though
as it has now been adopted in the new peugot 406's. check it out next time you see one.

now that is copying!

I like the look of the Alfa 157 - the Chevy is a tad too curved at the rear.

As they say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

That said I spent about 10 minutes standing in my garage last night admiring the lines of my new RX-8. I even did the "hug your car" thing as per the TV advert. :o

I love the look especially with the Fender Strakes and the wing which I think look close to perfect in my Winning Blue.

I think if I try to hug my wife one more time, or tell her I love her, or provide more flowers, or say thank you for letting get the car once more, she'll hit me.

As for Senor L'n'L - my wife knows karate and she hates the Lightning Yellow colour, so that should be enough to run him off! :p

Nah, that'll just present him with more of a challenge. Hey Michael, where are you anyway? Fornicating, I have no doubt (he's a legend in his own lunchtime)

Did I mention that she has a brain - that may be too much of a challenge even for the legendary L'n'L :p

Guys Just to ease your minds i never hit on a married women , if the husbands dont service them why should i .??

Judging by kiwimeats birthday hes lovely wife would be to young for me No offence meant .

The other factor is i never go for ladies who are G.U.D (geographically un desirable Petrol cost being too high :p .

Anyway with schoolies week here on the Goldcoast , theres ample opportunities to get on the nest : with younger birds .

cheers
michael
