Mazda also put out these schematic shots. Looks like the engine is squarely and wholly behind the front axle. Prepare yourself for arguments about what constitutes 'mid engine' with your friends.

Bullshit!

Who put a TV and some speakers in front of this one? West Coast Customs? Pimp My Ride?

I like the looks of this one. It's original.

Seems easy: Toyota/Scion is the one with the angry face, Subaru is the one with the Mazda Smile™

"Whoa brakes"

If there's any place where you could build a giant underwear pyramid, Monaco after a big-ass party would be one.

ENHANCE!

Can we rewrite what technically makes a car mid-engine? Why not a simple rule: ENGINE BETWEEN SEATS AND REAR AXLE.

I like the "LOOK, MOM, I'M A MUSTANG BOSS! VROOM VROOM!" louvre/ducktail combo at the rear.

I doubt you can turn that orange thing into this, unless the fastback rear is modified somehow.

In that case, wouldn't "ambulance", "fire truck" or "police car" also count?

What is that:

You sound like a weird telegraph:

I guess you've heard it a million times, so let's make it a million plus one:

"There's still more to do but most of the gains to come from cars involves reducing the number of vehicles on the road and the amount of miles driven, not by making the cars themselves cleaner"

Why would they do that? I mean, if you want to buy an existing team, at least go for a midfielder (Force India?)

Hey! Just because some cocks drive Seats (in Spain, the Leon Cupra FR in yellow is the stereotype) doesn't mean all Seats are driven by cocks...

Layman's guess: when manunfacturers started making prototypes and building one or two "homologation road cars" so they could enter the GT class at LeMans (Toyota GT-One, Mercedes CLK-GTR, Porsche 911 GT1).

All this talk about ultimate surveillance and all I can focus on is a zeppelin with "something" hanging from below.
