Kabura.

The same guy who designed the Solstice, designed this car. I think it's very cool. And you certainly can't call it retro.

Re: Kabura.

I will admit, it looks pretty damn nice to me.

Re: Kabura.

It's how the Cobalt should have looked.

Re: Kabura.

Hopefully its a design study for the RX7. I hate that rx8, its an abomination.

Re: Kabura.

It doesn't really blow me away. It's just a generic looking concept car.

Re: Kabura.

Does nothing for me. In fact, I would go so far as to say, it does less for me than the Camry.

Re: Kabura.

I didn't see the Mazda badge until long after I thought to myself 'that looks like somebody took a Mazda RX8, and mixed it with a car-based sport SUV (like the Murano)'

Thumbs down Re: Kabura.

Hmm.. doesn't say RX7 to me at all. Just looks like an overstyled RX8 - which isn't exactly a good looking car to begin.

Hard to imagine that car was penned by the guy who did the Solstice - which I do happen to like quite a bit.

Re: Kabura.

Kind of a Crossfire-y feel to it, a 3 door too, the lines are just too busy, confusing...

Re: Kabura.

I like it. I think it was one of the best looking cars at the show. It all seems to work. Every angle looks good. Only thing is the HP is a bit week, somewhere around 150hp IIRC.

Re: Kabura.

to me, the front end looks like a mix between the solstice and the rx-8 and the profile and rear look alot like the coupe (hardtop) concept of the solstice.
