I'm not sure what the purpose of this thread is? Phasing out the RX-8? Not really. Any company will continually revitalize their car line by tweaking the body style and features.

The head lights don't even fit properly. I'll bet it is the new Mazda 6.

It's a test mule so they don't have headlights production ready. You use what's in house to complete the car (including the mis-fit bra).

I thought maybe the 4 door sedan design would have tipped you off that it isn't an RX-8...

They make it look as ugly as possible because they know that they're going to be captured by spy shots. Look at the new Nissan Coupe spy shots, they put 350z parts on it.
