I recently saw a trailer for this upcoming movie "Cars", and I could swear I saw the main car character (the cars talk) resemble much like an RX-8. Then I saw it on yahoo, and I really think they made the front resemble the RX-8!

Now... who agrees with me?

You can go to the page if it's still up here.

Do you think the fronts RESEMBLE each other?
The real car


The movie


For the record, here are some things people have said...

Am I really just crazy?

 

well if it looks like an 8 which i dont really think it does, thats degrating becasue it is supposed to be a NASCAR car

 

lol, I keep thinking the same thing whenever I see the trailer.

 

Or it could be the fact that the RX-8 looks like it has a smiley face from the front. Clearly that makes too much sense though... So throwing out things like logic and reason it's clear that they saw the RX-8 and modeled the cartoon cars after it.

 

look at the tail light, it look like an american car.

 

Well of course the back doesn't look like it, but I think the whole front and headlights especially were ripped from the RX-8.

 

Are you high right now?

 

No I'm not.

We will see with the polls. If more votes say no, then you can call me an idiot.

Here are some more for you guys.

 

I see what you mean now. Both the RX8 and this car have two headlights!

 

Besides the fact that they're both cars I fail to see a similarity.

 

LMAO, your not supposed to show the rest of the car.

Obivously the rest of the car doesn't look like an RX-8, just the front of it RESEMBLES to me.

You think I'm comparing the entire car? WhY!??????

 

Since you're not high, how about mildly retarded? Just getting the full story before I pass judgement...

 

Now tell me you see NO resemblance!
Those headlights couldn't match more!



You must see resemblance in the front. I mean, damn.

 

John Lasseter has said that they did not allow the leading man- car - resemble any known automobile. They were going for Corvette, but had to make it generic. Also, they had to make other cars in the Nascar field non-recognizable as GM or Ford vehicles.
The lead female, Sally, is a Porsche, they acknowledge that in the movie. They also did a VW Bus.

 

It does resemble an 8. It has a front, sides, and headlights. Yep. Just like it. I am not sure other cars have a front, sides, and headlights available as an option.

 

Rel, are you related to SSJ 909?

You wish.

About the thread, that was really funny, thanks for sharing it! Your reply to the user was pretty predictable though. Try to think of something new to say...

 

If anything, I think it looks more like a 93-95 RX7.

 

Hmm I never saw it that way. Perhaps if you removed the head lights it would a little bit.

Just a heads up, you might want to prepare for Ike's wraith.

 

Nah, other than the smile on the front, he's all NASCAR. BUT I think it'll be a terrific movie for me and Das Kidlet. Jeez, just look at some of the names... Paul Newman, Cheech Marin, Larry the Cable Guy, George Carlin, Michael Keaton, John Ratzenberger... I'd see the movie just on the basis of that!

 

I can look like a Miata

 

REL_RX8, I see what your saying. But I think its the headlights that make you see the RX-8 in that car.

 

It looks like a 1927 Graham.

 

No, it looks like Jesus if he was a car and used RX-8 headlights.

 

You're all wrong, it's actually the result of a 250 GT Berlinetta humping Moby Dick while doing acid.
