Even Nissan wants the RX-8.
 
Nissan has come out with the Foria concept. I love how the z owners bash us then their company copys the 8...... and makes it square.

I doesn't look anything like an 8. As well, the 8 didn't invent the door style. So really, you got nothing here but some attitude.

cLLcLe 10-06-2005 09:37 PM

Huh... hows that look anything like an RX-8.... hahahah

mike1324a 10-06-2005 09:41 PM

just some of the main design ideas i guess. The vents, doors, center console and if you look at it the front grill is similar.

whao... terrible topic. no pun intended.

Gomez 10-06-2005 10:10 PM

I'll back you up Mike....It's a direct 8 rip-off. An exact copy. The "C" pillar is Nissan, the rest is Mazda.

BlueEyes 10-06-2005 10:18 PM

An exact copy? it looks NOTHING like it. NOTHING.

Gomez 10-06-2005 10:24 PM

Shut-up you, you, you.....Bloody Canadian...!

mike1324a 10-06-2005 10:30 PM

ok ok we dont need to bash each other. i do think it has alot of similarities to the rx-8

NgoRX8 10-06-2005 10:36 PM

I guess he means that Nissan is starting the production of the suicide doors for the coupes now... or again.. uhh I don't know nissan's history but yea.. They are making a 2+2 door coupe like the rx8 is. Ironic how they make one now i guess.

You are correct......but when Blue Eyes wakes up in the morning, he'll still be a Canadian ;) . We need to bash each other occasionally.....it's a Commonwealth thing.

It doesn't look quite like an 8, but I see some similarities in the proportions, and of course the doors. I definitely think it's a ripoff of Mazda, though.

Frostee 10-06-2005 10:41 PM

flat out copy... three cheers for Nissan for ingenuity... NOT. Notice how the rear doesn't have three seats and they've flat out copied the strut down the middle concept.

JeRKy 8 Owner 10-07-2005 12:02 AM

It's only a concept car. I doubt it makes production. Oh and from the front it looks more like a Crossfire

Ike 10-07-2005 12:03 AM

You people that think it looks like an RX-8 are insane.

I think you're missing something. You could be blind and see the influence of the 8 in this car.

Do I care?
Not one bit

AQA101 10-07-2005 12:18 AM

Clearly an RX-8 copy except for the front, which was ripped from the new Civic. ;)

Or they copied the 4 seat Maxima.
