Best looking Mazda ever

LH1 · 08-13-2006, 02:01 PM

Okay, I realize it's old (2003 SEMA show) and there may be some people on here who've seen it before, but what are your thoughts?

I think its absolutely stunning. I love it.

the shape reminds me of a porsche

LH1 · 08-13-2006, 02:09 PM

I kind of get a Porsche vibe from it too.

It's nice looking, but the old RX-7 looked very similar.

gotta still love the FD

It looks like a 3rd Gen RX7 merged with a Miata. I always liked the 3rd gen. RX7 (my first car was a 2nd gen RX7).

As far as the Porsche references go, the first picture in this post doesn't really remind me of a Porsche. But I'm almost positive Mazda was using the Porsche 944 as the basis for the styling of the 2nd gen. RX7. So, there may be some Porsche influence that I just haven't noticed.

its freaking bright RED!!!! but something tells me it looks like BMW Z4 and Porche mold together.

the big nose kinda makes it resemble some aspects of a Z4, but not really though. The roofline definitely smacks of 'baby Porsche'.

The rx-7 was a great looking car in its day.
