Re: NAIAS: Mazda Furai

So, aside from refilling the gas tank at a pit-stop, will you have to refill the oil too?

Re: NAIAS: Mazda Furai

I hate the headlights, I hate the side profile, I pretty much hate it. If the next RX-8 looks anything like it..

Re: NAIAS: Mazda Furai

Well since GM has given up on Pontiac, it's atleast good Mazda is working the aggressive fluid-like styling.
Looks awesome.

Re: NAIAS: Mazda Furai

I don't know about this car. It's an interesting concept, but is it possible for production?

Re: NAIAS: Mazda Furai

And quite honestly the front end looks kinda stupid too. Too many random holes and lines.

Don't like the mangy dog with ribs showing side vent. But other than that, I kinda like it. Looks very Speed Racer-ish.

Re: NAIAS 08: Mazda Furai

Is it a preview of a new entry in the ALMS (a race car), or is this supposed to be something for the street? I think it looks incredible, and yes I would buy one. Needs some of the typical Japanese cartoon look removed though....

I really hope this portents to a mid-engine next generation RX-8, I love the looks of that car, except for maybe the wing.
