Today I saw one of this tiny 3 wheeled cars, and it was yellow and shaped like the RX-8. It looked weird, just like the RX-8. Some big fat guy was driving it.

These are ugly times. Seen the Cadillac CTS? How about the tacky overchromed topheavy look of the hideous Lincoln Navigator? Lets see, how about the Pontiac Aztec? Next to stylistic vomit such as this, the RX-8 doesn't look so bad, IMHO!

You have a good point. Everyone is trying to design cars that look like they belong in an 80's futuristic sci-fi movie.

i think the rx-8 looks rather happy.

however i think that mazda should make it look more like a porsche 944 kinda like the way the 2nd gens look



also i read (road & track i think) that if the rx-8 does well then mazda will give the go ahead for the 4 generation rx-7 and a rotary miata

If you think the RX-8 is ugly you should see the concept for the 4th gen RX-7 inthe Sept. Road & Track it's even uglier!!!!

a rotary miata? how much do those things wiegh? that could be pretty sweet. i like the new body on those things, looks sort of fd-ish.



while were on the ugly car thing dont forget the chevy avalanche and its caddilac counter part, i forget what its called, but its equally ugly and sports a pie plate sized caddy logo. people have been shot for thinking up things far less offensive.

Ha, Porsche is making one too. That's sort of like a high end jewelry store selling gold plated jewelry and cubic zirconia. :P
