it's gonna sell like hotcakes to the fanboys and we'll see a 200% increase in street racing

Looks nothing like the FD's front.

The only thing i'm kinda happy about is the powerplant..either than that, still nothing compared to the FC and FD's.

and what cues would those be?

absolutely repulsive. i say remake the rx-7 like the miata or mx-5 they call it now.

stop smiling at me !!!

Sloping rear roofline to the hatch with a short rear deck. Fender arches.
The short height frontnfenders like the Fd, and the S7 corner lights who's shape has been imitated on the Rx8 for headlights.
Just google pics and you'll see it.

i don't see the similarities you see. if anything, it takes cues for the front end from the RX8. the FD doesn't have the raised fender ridges like the 8 does, which has carried over into this concept.

as for the rear

the SA didn't have a contoured deck like this concept does. but guess what, the FD does.

the SA had a, for the most part, flat rear horizon. if not slightly sloped downward. the FC had more of a "Rear Deck" than the SA or FB did.

i'll give you similarities in the markers of the FD and the head lights of the concept, but they are stretched at best.

the happy face is on all mazda's!

Short rear deck, like the FB.
The FC kinda had this, but the FC/FD had more of a rear deck. The newer car gets the new school flare ala the RE Amemiya piece on the FD's rear lights.

I can see what you mean about the RX8 cues, but I was talking about the height of it.
And the lights in question.

you're missing the biggest part of the lights though. There is no rx7 without the flip ups. Period.

Also, pornstar Madison Monroe drives an FD.
Well, before she got fat.

Oh no. No popups. What ever will we do?

Guess this isn't a Corvette anymore.
