Paul,
Have you seen the new 2-door Evolve?  Looks nice, huh?
M.S.

Mark please don't send those photoshop images. It must be either a jpg or gif.
It took me a long time to erase that from your message.

Don't you mean four door?

Here is a picture I took at the Detroit auto show.
I think the nose looks like an Audi TT. As such it is very bad aerodynamically
speaking. It will have a lot of lift. The rotary engine is so small that there
is no excuse for a nose this high. Mazda needs to get their act together
and build a compact, wrapped up, tuned intake manifold like the rest of
the auto manufactures use on their V engines. Mazda is fond of building 
snake shaped skyscraper intake manifolds that drastically increase the 
height of the engine.

The rest of the car looks great.
