Don't see that at all... color locations don't match, shape does not match... lights on do not match... not sure where you get that
Unlike the T board and S5 lights, where they both have a wide blank section at the bottom, they both have a rectangular reverse light next to the L plate, they both have 3 circles per side, they both flash the outside circle for turn indication... etc etc etc

the weight of my s4 alum t2 hood threw me off, i remembered how heavy my steel n/a hood was, but the aluminum t2 hood is still a little heavy. I had to open a friends steel n/a hood to be relieved. I was kinda pissed about that for a while
and yeah, alum hoods have rivets on some things and a magnet is another way to tell

And Jags don't have any Mazda in them, but the Volvo 4 series are all just Mazda 3's (as is the European Focus).

I thought you'd speak out on that! As far as the Jag's, I wasn't talking about parts, I was talking about appearance. Newer Jag's serously bear a family resemblance to Mazdas. I'm sure that just says alot about Mazda'z design team.

yet with minimal style changes (fenders-lights-bumpers-etc), Mazda could re-release the FC or FD and have it look contemporay (infact with the cutting edge look coming back in over the last couple years, probably more so for the FC).

A friend of mine owned an 83 t-bird we used to call the thunder chicken. A car I actually worked on. Owned it in high school the same time I had an 87 base FC. You do realize cars are around for a few years after they are made right? Check the angle of your shnozzz my friend.
