Anyone else see a striking resemblance to the S2000's headlights (and front-end ducts) and the tail-end?

Looks like a TT and an S2000 mated and squeezed one of these out...!

Looks pretty cool...but I prefer the Gen3 7...that is one wicked car!

Big Mistake! The 3rd Generation RX-7 was/is a much better looking car. This thing looks FAT! Also, that yellow on the guage pod is a major mistake (that, and the yellow on the wheel and the seat insert look PhotoShop'd ). That puppy will blind you with the reflection off the windshield (lay a piece of white paper on your dash right in front of the driver for an example!).

Just my opinion, folks.

I actually like the look of the older RX-7. This car looks too boxy for me. Guess that's FORDs influence.
