Looks more exotic than a RX8... thats for sure... kept some of the old classic mazda curves too... i bet they can make it look pretty good if they did a few tweaks with the design just like the RX8 concept car. but that mitsu eclipse *** gotta go.

I doupt it has anything to do with the RX8 because of the tiolet bowl badge. it was probably in the late mid 90s when Mazda still used the tiolet bowl badge and when the pre 99 FDs were still in production. i would say that video was in 1996-97 because of the body styles and wheels of the FD.

I always loved the RX-01 concept. That hood line was simply a great design. I wish they had built it.

But, the RX-8 is simply a gorgeous work of art. Between the two I would have gone for the 8.

It looks smaller....

Did the guy mention the weight of the car? I know he said something about 2500 lbs, but I don't feel like going through the video again. I'm glad the 8 doesn't look like that.
