Looks kind of like an angular TT. The only thing I like about it is the
fact that they kept it small (and hopefully light) as opposed to the 300Z.
Unless they put turbos in it to make it a
contender against the 300Z, RX-7, and ferrari killing 3000GT, they
are gonna have problems selling it.
Right now the 3000GT with its 300 + HP and all wheel drive is hard to mess
with.
Looks like I'll be keeping my 3rd gen Rx-7 for awhile.
