Winding Road reveals - the RX-9 (for 2012)

Well, it looks like Winding Road has joined the speculation about the next-gen rotary: http://magazine.windingroad.com/wind...00802/?folio=1. Looks flash, anyway....

think it should be renamed "Winding Road speculates that the 2012 RX-8 will be the spawn of a 350z and an SLK55".

IMHO it looks like they took an Aston Martin and somehow stretched the body over a Lexus.

It would probably look better in the flesh

The front end looks lke crap. Photoshop could have done a better job....

EDIT...OK I'll be more specific.

I've been studying this photoshop pic since it was first posted in the Media forum last week. I can't find anything stylish or exciting about it. The front end looks makes it look like a pug.

It looks decent from the rear view is OK but that's about it. The whole fascia looks like one of those rice-boy headlamp conversions gone wrong.

Sorry if I offend.....

Earnt your repost police stripes on that one!

Seriously, as has been discussed here before, a lot of the locals here dont like to discuss these things out in the big wide world and are more comfortable with a local thread.
