WTF?

It is an FD isnt it? I'm not seeing things?

 

yeah, it's an FD with one fugly-*** conversion...

 

Looks more like a Ferrari 550 or 575.

 

ITs a repost... yes its an FD... and is spelled Aston Martin.

 

There was a published report that Mazda had designed a show car that looked like a small version of an Aston Martin, but after that one report I never heard anymore about it.

 

it looks like a lot of things .. kinda looks like a mazerati (sp) to me

 

its just mazda playing with other ford cars altogether,almost looks as ugly as my front bumper

 

It's a Mazdarati

 

lol nice

 

huh thats a good one!

 

http://www.mazda.com/publicity/relea...310/1009e.html -> is this the one? Especially the Type E looks like a baby Aston. well sort of...

 

Kits are gay.

 

No, that's not it. Although I must admit I never saw a picture of the car. The report was in one of the car magazines. I forget which one. The car was said to be very attractive and to look like a baby Aston Martin, which is why I can't figure out why it never ended up on the show circuit or was made public on some way.

I know there are a couple of people from Mazda in Irvine who read this forum. Maybe one of them could give us more info.

Here's an article where they DO compare the looks of the Type E to an Aston Martin. Was that the reference you were thinking of JConn?

I wish the export Roadster Coupe would have followed these lines instead of the hard top convertable that they are releasing.

Though there is also this mx5 based kit:

meh. I like the Roadster Coupe better.

 

and the Aston martin DB7 uses the same ashtray as the FD - useless fact

 

You brought a 2 year old thread back for that?

 

well the koenigsegg uses the FD rear reflector/reverse lights!
