That car looks like it HAS to be based on the RX8. I was looking at 3/4 pic, if you stuck some RX8 headlights on it, you'd have an RX8 if the metal had sharper creases. It's not just the fenders either, it's the general proportions, it's also the raised hood and the shape of the grille with this one. I wonder if this is Ford's way to sell a non-rotary powered RX8 lookalike?

Note to ford though - do something about those "worried" headlights.
