Well...I tink the new 5 series BMW looks desperately ugly, but hey, it drives good and is very stable and comfortable. It looks ugly but dynamically its still a cracking good car to drive.

and i wouldn't be too surpised if the rx8 had a smattering of ford bits too considering that ford owns over 40% of mazda

Ford doesn't own more than 408,175,800 shares of Mazda. That's just about 33.39%.

I drove the Focus C-Max yesterday. It has the same basics as the Mazda 3 and Volvo S40/V50. Fun, but they had forgotten to put a decent engine in it.

platform sharing is very common VAG group does it GM does it Honda does it etc.... and no the RX-8 doesn't share anything with FORD!!!! images/smilies/mad.gif

And Ford holds like 30% of Mazda not 40.

Oh well...Ford is a good car maker..I sound like Jeremy Clarkson already. So if Mazda does share anything with Ford. It doesn't make it much worse either.

Nice is that a 320 Executive?

A friend of my dad bought one for his wife b-day (lucky rich fucks!) but apparently it wasn't that good.. The gauges are just images/smilies/eek.gif looks like they came out a Dodge Caravan!

I liked it in it's first years but now it looks kinda dated.. images/smilies/mellow.gif

I drive a 1994 Saab 900 S. My folk's car, actually. Not a totally bad car, but not the best either.

I'm currently looking at older 900 SPG turbos and Mk3 Golf GTIs at the moment, but my dad is suggesting me to get a 900 turbo convertible. 8)
