I saw the back end of an RX-8 on the street yesterday and I did not like it at all.



Two small exhausts coming out of a rounded back end that was way off the ground... No I didn't like it at all. Not that I am into lowering cars to the ground and putting tons of ground effects on them, I just think they could have done a better job at designing the rear end of this car.



Up high on the back end looks like they enlarged the rear end of a Miata and stuck it on this car. Just my opinion. Anyone else feel the same?



It also irritated me that some older woman was driving it that probably has no appreciation for the rotary engine.

maybe that was wankel's neice?



yeah, I think it would look nice lowered some.

I think the rx-8 looks f0cking ugly.... ditto for the rest of Mazda's lineup that have the projector-ish headlights & Altezza tails



My opinion only.

I'm a big fan of the old school Miata look with the flip-up headlights, but I guess they had to change 'cause flip-up headlights are banned in Europe. I really like the RX-8; not as much as I like the look of RX-7's, but it's a nice look. I do like the front end more than I like the back end, though.

Woah, flip ups are banned in europe? Why is that?

because they were walking in the street or too close to the street. Remember, streets in Europe are narrower than American streets, and the Europeans shower less. But seriously, that's why. It was injuring too many people. ZenRXSeven will back me...he's the one that told me in the first place
