Doesn't do a thing for me. It looks like a Mercedes SLR McLaren. I like M-Bs but not that one.

Big fan of rotaries (had an RX2 and an RX7) but this doesn't do it for me. Rotaries are tiny motors, so putting one in a conventionally styled GT with a long hood makes no sense to me. IMHO, Mazda should have shown off the rotary's size by building something more in the vein of MR supercar like a Gallardo or 488 and then surprised everyone with a rotary up front. Building a long hood/short deck rotary powered car seems counterintuitive to me. Why have all the acreage out front with a tiny little motor lost in the space?

Th front's OK. The back OK, but they were smoking way too much crack when they designed the sides between the wheel wells.

Its unique, I do like its looks, though there is something about it, I might describe it as it looks like a future/concept car that was designed by folks in the 1990s. No hard lines.

When I looked at it my thought was the roundness of the body, especially the rear hip and end area, doesn't match the hard lines around the front grille area. I like it but I don't love it. It just looks to me like it's missing some of that style that I like in Mazda's. It was traded in for roundness.

I do see Mercedes unit too, but it reminds me more of the Gran Turisml Vision project Mercedes showed a while ago.
I like it but agree that with the rotary being such a small engine it doesn't make sense under such a long hood. I'd prefer to see something more like the FC RX-7s.
