Mazda RX-8 Rips Off S2K
 

Here's the deal. My wife's ride is a Mazda Tribute SUV. Nice vehicle and all...highly rated for what it does. Anyway, as owners we get a Mazda-produced periodical called Zoom-Zoom (go figure!). On page 7 of the summer issue they introduce the Mazda RX-8 to be available next summer. They have a picture of a yellow one. I almost unloaded a brick when I saw this thing. This car has the same front as the s2k. Same aggressive front opening, same 2 side openings, same flared headlights and same flared front fenders. Unbelievable! 250HP, rotary engine, 50/50 balance. Here is a link to pictures. You tell me. Was Honda ripped?

Stop cruising the NE Ohio Forum. Aren't you on the left coast?

I must agree with you. Not only the front end but the back end has an amazing resemblance to our little beauty. Also I love their little red start button. I guess the saying "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" applies here. However, I don't understand why you build a sports car with 4 seats:confused:

GULP...if you look at the interior pics, there is on the left side of the steering wheel a very conspicuous......RED engine start button.
