Reminds me of both the mazda 6 and the alfa 159sw.
Buy them since you'd be cutting some structural chassis parts to achieve that look. |
Kinda reminds me of a Subaru hatch back
|
Fugly
|
I kinda like it!
|
It looks like the front of the rx8 and the back of a Mazda 3...lol
Anyway, I think it looks good though... |
2/10. would not bang
|
Reminds me of the old 70's era Reliant Scimitar or the Lotus Elite from the same era
|

Shooting Brake? Is that a cool way of saying hatch back? No bueno.

Yeah i was really hoping that that this was gonna be like the rx8 chuck norris would be driving in delta force. Greatly disappointed. Just buy a 3 or 6 hatch and put a rotary in it.

a shooting brake is a term used for a 2 door station wagon
originally refers to a car that would take hunting parties around hunting estates The Ferrari FF is a "Shooting Brake" http://www.classicdriver.com/upload/...rari_FF_04.jpg |

i dunno, i watched a documentary on the Ferrari FF called "Supercars" on Nat Geo and i just wrote what they said on that doco word for word
|
Yup... Velociter ... doesn't look all that bad in person either... far better than the stretched eggish look of the FF.

Back in the day, the British term 'Shooting Brake' meant a car which one could literally shoot at wildlife.
The back seat could be flipped or likewise reversed, such that one could sit facing the open tailgate ( which also formed a defacto canopy for deflecting the notoriously crappy fall /winter weather) and remain warm & comfortable ( nursing an irish coffee ofrflask) whilst blasting away at hapless waterfowl. ;^)) The MGB GT was a 'Shooting Brake' design. If you look at the vestigial backseat is mounted, you'll see what I mean. |
Shooting Brake to me is a device to keep the muzzle from climbing after a round is expelled.

That's a pretty decent Photochop but I'm not a huge fan of the idea of an RX8 Shooting Brake. The Ferrari FF is a much better design and even then I'm not fussed on it.
