- Personally, I like how the new RX looks from the front, but the
- back's got to go. The R1 spoiler makes it look a little better
- but not much. Actually, now that I think about it, its profile
- looks the best of all, with the headlights popped up, and the
- rear spoiler.
-
- The Mk2 RX-7s look a lot like Porsche 944s. Personally, I prefer
- Mk2 RXes vs. Mk3s because Mk2s look good from any angle.

- I like the new Z, too; but a lot of new generation autos these
- days have gained extra poundage because of added creature
- comforts or whatnot. The new Z has gotten its fair share of
- gaining a few pounds here and there. Maybe this is the reason
- why the Mk3 RX-7s are getting so much attention these days.
-
-
- What I really hate today are most the current sedans. They all
- look more or less alike.
