I like the back end. Reminds me of the first Rx-7. I like the side view, I like 3/4s from all directions, love the front view.
The worst view? If I have one nit, it'd be that the designer(s) didn't make the back of the front fenders arch back into the bottom front of the rear fender arch.. but that's just my worthless two ¢. :D

Rear 3/4 view......
From that perspective, the front fenders look too small for the back end - or is it the back end looking too bulky for the svelte front? Considering they needed 4 passenger seating and 4 doors, its not too bad, but maybe there are visual tricks to make the back end look more trim.

Stuck in a love triangle
Here are my votes for worst angles (pre production car shown):
And this next one takes the cake as worst angle of all (low shot from the front):
I'm also glad they decided not to keep the blades on the door handles, but those mirrors should have been keepers:

nice pic
my vote is rear 3/4. that's where all the lines are weakest. tinted back window makes it worse, as the whole c pillar was designed to minimize the apparent size of the greenhouse.
rear takes second, but that can be helped alot with body kits

I'm teasin ya anyway about the Mr. 2...it's your taste. I prefer curvy sports cars, but the RX-8 is a good marriage between curves and geometric lines.

My vote goes to: the angle from the driver's seat while you have both of your hands on the steering wheel, and have your head between your legs looking towards the rear seat while in fourth gear. IMHO, this is quite possibly the worst angle in an 8. You could see nothing but a wall of black carpet. :D I WIN!!!! WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
