I still think the interior from the prototype kicks our interior's *** - especially the reflective/glass console.

I like the console and gauge pod of the Evolv's interior, but I think the fuzzy stuff everywhere else makes it look all dirty. Having that all over the car would drive me crazy. The finger lines I'd get in the alcantra part of my IS300's seats was enough to drive me nuts, I couldn't imagine having a whole interior of stuff like that.

That early prototype doesn't look right for some reason. Like the missing link between the RX Evolv and the current 8. I like our interior better ... although that glassy center console is kinda nice.

That one pic of the yellow 8 without side corners looks odd!

The 2001 Detroit car was the missing link. The RX-Evolve was an earlier creation.

You can drive the prototype version in Grand Tourismo 3. Pretty neat.

wish they had left the rear bumber cover the same. The only thing I DONT like about my car is the black plastic lower half of it.
