Default The Competition has arrived

Well, it looks like the competition for the S2000 is about to arrive, check out this site: http://auto.ascii24.com/auto24/tms2001/

I know this site is in Japanese but it has the pictures to the new Acura NSX-R, Mazda RX-8, Nissan Z, Mazda Atenza(626), among many others, so just click around.

Actually, you can use a machine translator (Bable Fish for example - http://world.altavista.com/) and view this site in English. It's pretty funny some times to see the translations.

I'm laughing so hard I'm pissing in my pants! No offense to a new member but maybe you should adoupt the "fly on the wall" concept. The RX-8.......now that's funny. I had the origanal RX-7 at 7.5 K. I had a 1983 "Turbo II" model. I was "priced out" in 1995 with the "Twin Turbo"........RX-8?.......Mazda is RX DEAD they lost this owner two cars ago. Honda quality says where's the RX-9, 10, or 11?

What was the designers at Mazda thinking?!?!! No, the Marketing department...what were they thinking!!!!

RX-8? Should of come up with a new name...doesn't due justice to the RX-7.

I think that the Nissan designers did a bad job with the new Z, they could've at least had an integrated radio antennae in the rear. As far as the RX-8 is concerned, i'm sure that Mazda will make a car that will be a true successor to the RX-7. However, Mazda did a great job with the RX-8. The interior is one of the nicest i've seen in a long time, if it actually makes it to production. And I don't want to hear anything on the "Red Starter Button", Honda wasn't the first car company to use a start button.

BTW, Mazda is NOT DEAD!!! far from it. Check out the new Atenza. So what if Mazda copied the IS 300, and even named the new car very similar to the Altezza. But i'm sure its going to be a nice car indeed. And if anyone thinks that Mazda copied Toyota a little bit too much let me remind them that Lexus wouldn't even have existed if it wasn't for Mercedes and BMW.
