rx7 - rx8

Man, I've just seen the pictures of the RX8 and to me it looks Vfugly!!! Does anyone know what the RX7 is going to look like? What was Mazda thinking when they created the abomination called the RX8?!?!?!

Oh no!!!!!!!!! My punctuation keys are all stuck too!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry you don't like the RX-8, but on this forum at least, you are in the minority, so what were you thinking with that post?

Anyway, to answer your question, no one knows what the next RX-7 looks like. Its not even officially under development (although most people believe it is). Of course, it won't come to North America if people think the RX-8 is "Vfugly" and don't buy it.

Questionable, how. The 8 is far from fluid and smooth. I was excited but now am terribly disappointed. Big let down from Mazda. I'll stick with my Miata unless the 7 offers some hope. The 8 well, just doesn't look very sporty. :o

Well, everyone's got an opinion. I think the RX-8 is the sexiest thing to come out of Japan.

That's your opinion, I guess. Personally, I think it looks very sporty, and I really like its lines and angles. I won't bother stating my opinion on the "shape" of the miata. Personally, I don't care for the yellow RX-8 color, but the spy pictures of the red car and the thought of a twilight blue one really make me grin. :D Car and Driver, for the record, called it "perhaps the best looking car to come out of Japan ever."

sorry, that was sarcasm. you are intitled to your opinion. i just happen to disagree. in my opinion the rx8 is much nicer looking than the nissan 350z. and i think the interior quality will be better also. it seemed like you were trying to start an argument so i jumped in with sarcasm. welcome to the forum
