problem is that the FC styling (I had two of them) is too similar to other cars of the era, such as the Porsche 944.

I used to work with a gal who asked what car I drove. When I told her it was an RX7 she was super stoked... until she found out it was an FD haha! She said she much preferred the looks of the FC.

Honestly, I love the looks of the FC. If the performance was the same between the two body styles, I'd honestly have a hard time deciding which I'd choose. I just like boxy cars I guess. But that said, looks are such a subjective thing, and other than the person I worked with, I haven't met anyone else who greatly prefers the looks of the FC over the FD. It's always the other way around.

Looks are completely subjective, but the short answer to the OP's question is no.

As a past owner of an FB, and current owner of an FC and an FD, I love them all - they each have their own charms. But the harsh reality of the collectors market seems to support FD's as the most valuable, followed by the SA/FBs, and then the more special/rare FC's (e.g. 10AE, series 5 T2's). Values of all RX7 generations have been rising in recent years, but not equally.
