Actually the starter button was in one of the prototypes- but isn't going to be included in the final version. Personally I do think there are definite similarities in the styling. Maybe that's part of the reason that I like it. Probably the other reason is the fact that like the S2000, the RX-8 will have a unique powerplant and will be the only production vehicle using that particular engine.

good point WhiteS2k. I own a head turner, but not one as exculsive as your S. I just figured that there would be more objectivity.

Mazda lactually looks a little nicer than an S2000 to me. Unlike S2000, it looks nice from the side, too

The new rx8 does look alright, but I'd have to agree that the s2000 beats it hands down! The little 3rd door on the rx8 just looks hideous! It makes the middle section way too long, and unproportional. The front and back are pretty nice, but looking at the middle section again, the fender flares are a complete rip off of the Ford Mustang. I'm interested to know how the car performs... Anyone have any ideas?

But for a car with seats in the back, I'd rather it have a short regular door and these short suicide doors than to just have a long regular door. I hate it when a 2-door coupe parks next to me and have their long doors ding my car just to let the passengers in the rear get out. With the RX8 setup, if the back seats are not being used, then there is no need to open the 3rd door.

This car looks like an S2000 and a Ford Focus' love child.

It's alright, but it needs to lose some of the vents, especially on the sides.

There is something else unsettling that I can't put my finger on.
