    Default Here are the AutoBild NC pics!





    Sorry about the stretched perspective on the second two - blame the hoster, not me.

    Hmm... I have to say that I like it overall, although I'm not too keen on some of the details. For example, why does everyone these days have to have some cheesy looking, crappy aftermakret wannabe looking clear taillight? I'd much prefer something more like the NA/NB taillights.

    Still, overall it's not as bad as I had feared.

    I'm not crazy about the 'horse-shoe' hood right off the bat!

    Yes, bad clear tail lights, and not sure how I feel about the Z4 copied "roll"bar. Wonder about its function, cuz I don't like the look of it.

    Why the hell do they always throw on some cheap looking clear & chrome plastic tail lights, thats been the only thing wrong with a lot of the newer really cool cars lately
    I hope there some sort of aftermarket stock-ish replacement, like the EVOs.

    But yea, I like it except for the rice tail lights & horseshoe hood.

    I don't like the faux style bar. Mazda should've contracted Harddog for the roll bar work.

    Don't like the chrome tail lights, the hood, or the roll bars.

    I don't know why, but to me it looks big. I really don't like that horseshoe thing on the hood, and I'm not diggin' the squared off style/roll bar. And to me, the overall shape lacks the sinuousness of the first two generations (the NB in particular). The shape is kinda... shapeless?

    But I do like the flared wheel wells. And we'll have to wait to see about weight and engine output.

    It's decent, but not inspirational. I'm not crazy about the rear aspect at all, although it looks the most photochopped of the pics. I know people over on the Pointy Board don't want to believe it, but, while this is obviously a photochop, I bet it's pretty close.

    I like it alot, but has anyone else noticed the resemblance of an RX8? If Mazda makes a convertable option on the RX8 they will almost look identical from an oncoming lane perspective

    I dont like the hood at all, it looks stupid and does not match the rest of the car IMHO

    Looks good overall I think. I don't like the hood.

    The blue one at the top, labeled "1" looks the best though. :)
