Hey, nice work, yeah, i'm familiar with maya, good job and making all the body lines. Add some texture, a background and fully render, and that'll be my new wallpaper. haha, which version of maya are you using?

Well, since I'm an animator, I'll give you an honest critique. The model needs some work, it's rather sloppy. I'd need to see a wireframe to really give you tips, but it looks like you need to add more edge loops near edges that you want to keep hard (like the frame around the window and the edge of the headlights) so that when you smooth it, it doesn't round it so much. There are also some problem areas in the doors where you have some ripples. I think you are on the right track though. You do seem to have the overall shape of the RX-8 down, the details just need... well, more detail.
Here is a 2020 RX-7 that I designed and modeled while I was in school. Managed to get it published in Motor Trend for their anual design contest:

Dominion, what do you do for a living, those models of the 7 are very nice, great textures, and excellent lighting. I do architectural rendering, and always wished I could do modelling of cars and more amorphous shapes.
Aipex8, that is one sweet looking car you designed, great skills.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I designed that car several years ago and there are definitely a lot of things that I would change looking at it now, although I still like the overall shape.
nez: I designed the rims, they are 24" in front, 25" in the rear... hey, it's a concept car!
epitrochoid: I'll try to get a large version of the red car uploaded later, until then: Black RX-7
