Sorry wrong pic.

 

ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM!

I think it rocks.

Top motor specs are apparently 250hp rotary engine with 10,000rpm redline.

 

Can we say EWWWWWWWWWWWW...

 

I'm wondering how much of an audience it would have? The similarieites to the S2000 are eerie. Same layout, same general body shape, same general styling, same headlights, same dual exhaust, same brake ducts, similar HP, same high-revving engine philosophy... If somebody wanted such a car, wouldn't they have already purchased an S2000? To the Mazda fans, the new RX-8 is about as close to the 3rd gen RX-7 as, well, the S2000 is. <scratch head> I don't get it.

Oh, wait, this is a four-seater, isn't? With rear suicide doors, like the Saturn? I wonder how big those seats are. The 911 has four seats, but there's no way you'd fit somebody older than 9 back there.

So, basically, I'd call it a four-seater, hard-topped S2000. *shrug*

ps - I like the way it looks.

 

Nice.....I think there is alittle S2K taste to it....what u all think???!

"I like the taste....can I lick it again?"

 

The similarities to the S2000 are very superficial. Come on, this thing has 4 doors, 4 seats and a roof! It is currently on show at the Sydney Motor Show and looks very nice in the flesh.

 

I like it. Wonder how many Mazda fans who opted for the S2000 will trade up.

However, it seems to me this car will appeal more to people who somehow feel like they need a little more storage space, or small back seats for their kids. The S is a no-compromise technology-oriented car. This a a techno car too, but it's all about compromise with its 2 extra doors and back seats.

I don't have kids yet, and my wife has a sedan, so the choice would be clear

 

I think the external similarities are flattering. the s2000 is a trend setter, what else can we say

I like the short shifter.

I'd like to drive one

 

Is that a red engine start button?

 

Flame on, but I actually kind of like it.
