That's the Mazda Shinari concept

Cool init.
I hope they build it. It'll make stuff like the 5 series look so humdrum.

Re: Mazda RX-9
I do like it a lot... BUt being a fan of the RX-7s and RX-8s... I'm a little biased. It didn't move anything downstairs... but I did like the angles.

Re: Mazda RX-9
It looks like a Japanese Maserati Quattroporte, which is great.
But there's two problems: one, depending on the price, whether someone who's shopping for a Aston Rapide or Maserati would go for a Mazda instead; and two, I wouldn't think a rotary engine would be suitable given the executive requirement for effortless low-rev torque.

Re: Mazda RX-9
The front end is one of the most aggressive looking faces I've seen on a car, god it looks good. The only thing I don't like are the lines just below the A Pillar. Apart from that, very nice.
