Gee that does look suspiciously close to the RX-8. It's even the Monterrey "RX-8" model. Mazda may have a lawsuit here.

Don't you guys know ... the "M" insignia is the new Mercury symbol. Sweet, I wish my RX8 looked that good ... I mean with the amber corners and all.

I'm sure this was printed for Nov. 4th 2004. I had taken the pics on the 7th with my camera phone. I had completely forgotten about these pics till like two days ago when I was making space on the phone's memory for other pics. I lost my copy of this paper like a month ago, I would have sent it to you that copy, sorry dude.
