Sexy car.
As long as hood scoops, fairings, and wings are functional, and add to performance, I am all for them. I still laugh every time I see that giant NHRA hood scoop on my 130 HP Impreza wagon. In fact I am pretty sure it reduces fuel economy by a couple MPG by acting as a giant plastic parachute.

Disagreed. If the new RX7 is anything like the 93-95, Mazda will just have to shut up, and take my money. One of the most under rated, sports cars in history. I cannot wait to see how that car pans out. Until you have owned a turbo Wankel, you just wouldn't get it.

I think I've owned one of those since I was about 12, and I don't get what you're saying at all.

Is your Impreza NA? The hood scoop is functional for the TMIC, if equipped.

It is a non turbo 2.2. Don't get me wrong, the car has been an absolute champ in the snow, I love the traction. But compared to the cars I have been driving the last decade, it feels sooooo slow. Especially since I put that Berger Juicebox in my 135i.

I knew it reminded me of something! Kind of looks like an F12 or Viper crossed with a Camaro.

I like the cars profile, looks like the F12. It could stand to lose a couple air intakes... mainly the one above the rear fender and the one on the hood. I also dislike the Camaro-esk rear end styling.

I notice the interior is yet again designed for midgets. Looks like I couldn't even get my legs under the steering wheel to drive it.

My only real problem with it are the taillights! Sounds like it's going to be awesome performance wise.

Is there a new RX-7 coming? I stopped paying attention to that like 10 years ago once I realized I was never getting this:

I've always found Porsche's style to be soft. Nothing about that car strikes me as aggressive.

My next and probably last sports car. You get what you pay for folks!

I'm planning to move to a DB9 after I finish with this car. I just love Astons.

Not a fan of the body. Too Iron Man-ish.

Styling is a bit too "busy" for my tastes. Photon's edit is much improved I think.
Agree with those mentioning the tail-lights. Way too Camero-esq. I think round tail-lights look best on Corvettes.
