Legitimate or mock up?
Looks like the Ferrari California, but much uglier.

Looks like one of the 1000s of renderings base on the NC that were circulating before any real info of the ND emerged.

Looks heaps better than the ND. Far more traditional lines for a roadster.
The ND tries to be too modern and will look out of date about 5 years into its run.

Couldn't agree more, I'd buy that over the ND

Re: I'll just leave this here..
Thanks guys. On one of the FB groups where this is also being discussed, I'm in the minority.
Good to see some taste remains over here

Re: I'll just leave this here..
That is a pretty ugly thing - headlights look like afterthoughts, and the flares look like something the local fibreglass shop knocked up over the weekend. Like the grille though.
But it is just someone's idea of the car, you guys go put your pants in the wash
, and come back when there is something better to look at.

Re: I'll just leave this here..
Yeah, I posted it there Rob.
What a bunch of negative Ned's. It looks awesome.. and it wouldn't take much for them to improve on mazda's rear end. I regret not holding off on the nc purchase. Unless of course the rrp is 45k+, then I'll feel a bit better. Or if they use the fiat 500 engine. I drove one last week, I think it was the slowest car I've ever dríven.

Bunch of negative Ned's.... Then those that like it proceed to piss and moan about the ND styling.

So lets go!

It styled like is is 2003. Looks like a Gen 1 Maz3 and 6, and a NC MX5.
Why didn't Fiat just buy the rights to use the NC tooling, make the same NC MX5, but slap a Fiat badge on it instead.

Now now. It is not pissing and moaning if you are older, wiser and smarter than everyone else.Dre wrote:Bunch of negative Ned's.... Then those that like it proceed to piss and moan about the ND styling.

Dont forget they had to walk 15 miles in the snow to get to school, went through a ressession and their sh*t don't stink. You young whippersnapper should watch your tone.
