Default Rx-8 back end looks like S2000

I just received my Road & Track with pictures of the new RX-8. I really think the back end looks a lot like the S-2000.

If it looks so much like the S2000 then why are you guys so critical about it. I think it is a compliment to emulate the S.

Not critical, just an observation. I like both cars

Hmmm...wonder if those rear flares would be interchangable...

I actually was fortunate enough to see one of the earlier prototypes (red) at Laguna Seca. In person, no part of it reminded me of the S2000.

No wonder I liked that car when I saw it in the magazines. I thought it looked familiar.
