I was very shocked to see that Subaru of all companies have copied the design of the RX-8.

Breach of copyright?

Really similar isn\'t it? I really don\'t like the front grille. (Not that I\'d buy one anyway...)

Anyway, as Glenn said, Mazda were there first.

What the f*** is the score with that?  That\'s pretty f***ing blatent :(  Even the rear suicide doors!

It\'s not bad looking though if you ask me.  Did you notice it has a rotor-shaped nose-cone? :p
