Yea that's what I mean, but it seems this will be a bit bigger than the Evo, no? I would think they would just redesign to evo to be a hatchback type car similar to the FD for lack of a better example. Get rid of the trunk and build it so that it is a hatchback. Or do the rules imply it must be a minibus type bar?

I really don't know. I didn't think it was mini bus size. Hard to say until specs are released, or another car is in the photo for comparison. I thought it was more like focus ZX5(I think that's the 4 door) hatch size..

looks like a cross between RX-8 and Acura TL
Bingo. I knew I saw something else in the design.

As far as thinking every car concept takes styling ques from the 8, I don't feel that way. I think every car concept takes styling ques from the Audi TT. LOL Remember when the 350Z came out? LOL

I think there is really no other car that looks quite like the 8 (the 8 has a love it or hate it look that turns heads for bad or goods looks). This would be the closest, though as far as looks. But now that the TL is mentioned, I would have to agree; there is a lot of TL in there.

Hmm, maybe. I guess we'll have to wait and see though. Speaking of the focus, when the hell are they going to bring the RS here!?! That would be another fun little car to have over here. Silly Americans. That's right, I said it.
