^ I actually like the lack of the rear doors. This the wrong kind of car to have 4 doors...

They really needed to leave the window in the rear door. I understand the goal and reasoning behind wanting to remove the doors, not that I would ever consider it myself, but that is just too much unbroken sheet metal. It unbalances the car aesthetically.

Edit: It keeps bringing to mind the Del Sol as well, and that, IMO is a step back for an RX-8.

There is a Pt Cruiser in my area with these: Car Eye Lashes I've not yet been able to get a pic. I wasn't aware there was something that would make a PT look more ridiculous, but there you go.
