Why you gotta hate debadging and rebadging :-(

‘Vette guys tend to be the slightly wealthier and more jingoistic versions of the Miata guys who drop hundreds of dollars on trim rings for their trim rings, so I’m not that suprised...

Heh, I was just thinking of my old ZX2 last night, and that used this (in extremely ‘90s font).

Toyota's actually been doing this for quite a while now.

Under a secret ballot, the employees rejected it.

Pretty much. I’ve worked in both UAW and non-UAW plants, and honestly, the workers in the non-UAW plants were happier. I can’t speak to ALL the plants in right-to-work states, but at least for the ones I HAVE been in, there was no need for the UAW.

Have you ever actually worked in a UAW and non-UAW plant? I have not been in VW’s plant specifically, but I have worked in others in multiple different states, and guess what? The workers in the non-UAW plants were happier, had more open communication with management, and maintained higher FTQ (first-time quality)…

Exactly. I’m part of the IEC, or Independent Electrical Comtractors, easiest way to explain it is a non-union union. I’m not formally opposed to any and all unions, but I’m not completely for unions either. There’s positives and negatives for both sides, and i chose to be non union because I’m frankly tired of being…

That’s a disgusting body kit... it looks like a kit-car 959 from the front and a prototype Panoz from the rear. I don’t understand why they changed so much, the FD is a beautiful car.

“I’m at the far end”...

The body kit is criminal.  First offense is the front.  Second is the rear.  Third is the fart can.  Three strikes for a car that deserved better.  Trying to improve the original car’s looks in this era of RX-7 is a fool’s mission.  Executing it poorly is even worse.  The color is even off.

A Study in how to make one of the best looking cars of all time, into one of the worst looking cars to grace the planet.  Ironically done by using design queues from other cars considered to be aesthetically pleasing.

Just going to add — pretty sure those taillights are Euro-spec Corvette C5 tails.

Buy this and be the laughing stock of both the Mazda and Porsche community.  Tell them for how much and everyone else will join in. CP

Oh god. My eyes. I would pay $40k to forget this existed. I don’t care if it’s rare, or made by a famous Japanese race-car designer. It’s god awful ugly, and took one of the most timeless gorgeous designs and made it look like a bad Fiero kit car. 

Wow... How to fucking ruin a car that was beautiful from the factory. HUGE CP.

This is the automotive equivalent of taking Eva Green and putting Rowan Atkinson’s face on her.

Nothing like taking a great looking girl to the plastic surgeon to change up her face and slip in some butt implants.  Make her look like someone else while you're at it.

The stock FD RX7 was one of the prettiest car of the 90's. This one has been made ugly CP

It’s like someone said “how can we take one of the prettiest, most pure sports car designs since the ‘60s and completely ruin it”.
