Default Each to there own I suppose (a little more)

I actually like it. Nice lines, and love the trick doors

We'll see - so many options moving into 2002/3 that who knows what will be the next best "play toy".

Just give me $65k so I can build my <b>Ultimate</b> TT and I'll be a happy chappy

Default I love the way this car looks. I saw it a year ago in Detroit. Pictures inside.

Default I think it looks like nothing more than an S2000 coupe, from the headlights to the taillights

I'm disappointed in it. Especially considering how well the previous design has help up over the years. Even after this many years that body style is still sleek, sexy and modern. Find the pics from the autoshow where they had it in "fly yellow" and compare it to pics of a fly yellow S2000, the resemblence really stands out to me. I'd have a hard time believing they did anything more than take an s2k, stretch it a little and put a poorly thought-out top on it. But to each his/her own, as with all things, it's a matter of preference.

Default I LOVE this car, my local Mazda dealer has my name and number...

I think it looks great, and would love to finally be able to drive a rotary (the Gen. II RX-7s came out before I could afford one, and I didn't fit in the Gen IIIs and they were <b>way</b> too expensive...)

According to everything I've heard, this is supposed to come in around $25K... we'll see...

Default You bet!

The next generation rotary, a 2-rotor engine producing 250 HP. Comes with a six-speed, too.

Now if only Mazda had AWD...
