I agree, it's... b'ugly, maybe f'ugly, even.

Kind of a cross between a PT Cruiser and the Batmobile or sumthin...

Of course, I'll have to hold my finaly opinion until I see it on the streets. But I doubt it'll change.

The body looks like it has too many curves and mold lines for no apparent reason. And it looks like the *** and got thrown together because they couldn't figure out how else to finish off the car. Well, like it or not, every ******* tapers off a terd one way or another.

looks cheesy and cross-eyed.

Could they possibly find any lower-profiled tires? I mean give me a break its a sedan not a sports car.

I hear it looks better in person. I'm trying to reserve judgement until I actually see one.

This is the X-MEN car, developed for the MOVIE. Odds are fantastic that the X rims and ultralowprofile tires are on the SHOW CAR just to look cool on film.

I'll agree with that assessment but I do like the overall style of the car. The design along with the four doors and four seats is gonna make this car a sales winner. Let's all hope it's a winner 'cause I don't know about you but I wanna see more rotary cars coming outa Mazda in the future.

I love the way the Rx-8 looks. But I think this X-men car looks like ****.....
I think the Rx-8 will be a very good car for Mazda.

I've never been a fan of the Rx-8's overall styling, but I am a big fan of the concept (4-door rotary sports car). I would have to say that those wheels are kick-***. Kind of a throw-back to the 1st gen. The wing, though not as ugly as it could be, definitely needs to go.
