Maybe not a trade in, but perhaps consideration as a commuter car.

I've heard that the front has been revised since the red prototype.
Here's the new front

Class Action Law Suit

Honda vs Mazda: Using the Engine Start button.

Looks like a good car, but a four seater, with four doors, and they want to call it a sports car??

I have a gut feeling it does take references from the S2000. But the yellow one sure does look better, the red one is quite outdated. It's just been reused again in this year's Sydney Motor Show, how uncreative Mazda can be at times.

OMG, I can't believe how similar they are. That kinda ticks me off. I'm gonna have to show any RX-8 I see what Honda's look like from the back. And I'll get a good chance to see how similar it looks from the rear view mirror.


"Honda's where?? In front of you..."

So who is gonna sue Honda?

Honda doesn't do anything original, they copy from everyone else too..

Shit I bet v-tec really isn't even theirs - *making* it first doesn't necesarily make it theirs, though I don't really know...
