It may appear to be too futurist, but our reaction to these models must be the same as people's reaction in 1992 when the FD came out

again...concept. I dont see how something so different, and elegant, could be a horrible thing! Of course mazda wont use that style rear end. But the lines mazda is playing with are delicious

Good thing it's purely concept. Don't expect to see anything close to that in the future.

ugly

You know the concepts never look like the production car. They will NEVER beat the styles of an FD or the supra. Some of the Supra's concept are ***! BUT, I did see an alright pic of one. However there are rumors of a larger rotary engine getting put in! I already have "V8 KILLA" on the back of my car. Whats next? "V12 KILLA"?

i'd be scared to drive it with fear that the steering wheel will eat me or someshit, looks very strange, way to much goin on, i'd like to refer to the phrase 'keep it simple stupid'

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. I give them credit for trying something new but the whole rear end needs to go. The rear wheel wells make it look like a hybrid...

Mazda tried FWD rotary and it didn't do well with us so I don't think they'll try again.

I said the Rx8 was one of the most hideous cars I'd ever seen, and here I am not, several years later, considering buying one to replace my daily driver (among a couple other cars).

The lines on that car are good flowing lines; however, we all know that isn't even close to what the car will actually look like when it comes out. If they can get some beautifully flowing lines on a true sports car in the future, though, that will be outstanding.
