Has anyone seen the cover of this months Road and Track??

If you have, youll know why im furious (not fast, just furious). Im walking into Publix grocery store on my break from work to get lunch and i see in the corner of my eye a red RX-8 on the magazine stand. I walk a little closer and its got Cheverolet emblems on it! It turns out that Chevy once again is taking notes from mazda. They did it once with the FD and looks like theve done it again. The cars look identical, minus the headlights. The side, windows, even the rims look similar. What makes me mad is how they are making such an ugly corvette. The C5 is a gorgeous chunk of american metal. Oh well, yuou cant stop progress ( or regress in this case)

Yeah, it's a hot topic over at RX-8 forum. Remember which model will be introduced first... Deja Vu.

I think the Chevy will be out first. The Corvette will outsell the RX-8 and stupid people will beleive the Mazda is a copy. They allready think that of the RX-7 and don't beleive you when you say it's a '94.

Was that pesamistic? (where's the dictionary)

Actually as I pointed out in the other thread, you can notice a resemblance in the Nissan 350zx as well.

If you look at consumer reports it says their cars are not reliable. So, in conclusion Chevrolet has the worst cars on the market. And with this C6 it just proves that they copy and give a bad name for americans.

Even if the C6 is to look aerodynamic (like an RX-8) I am sure there is another design that they could make that would be better than or equal to the RX-8. Besides why is Chevy messing with the classic taillights! It looks gay!

Maybe Mazda gave the design idea to chevy to **** off Ford hoping that Ford would sell them back to themselves. Mazda would be its own company again!! HAHAHA.......okay Im going to hit myself now
