- the point of my article was, you can buy the 3000GT that IMHO is a piece of
- junk, looks like a piece of junk, and, for the most part, IS a piece of
- mismatched, underengineered, overproduced, and just basic screw up for Dodge
- (STEALTH) and Mitsubishi, both. While the 3000GT looks better, they both
- look like the should have been in either test labs or the drawing board a
- few extra months. IMHO, the new styling of hte 300ZX is revolutionary.
- there IS no other car that looks like it. There never has been another
- car that looks like it. It is, IMHO, again, a piece of art! MAZDA, on
- the other hand, is doing their best to go retro. in fact, this is even
- their ad campaign. Wel..the Mk1&2's looked MUCH better. They could have
- saved a lot of greif by not screwing with it, just makeing it's underpinnings
- worthe the added perormance, and jacked up the boost, along w/ whatever
- other changed were made on the ol' rot for the "new" one. I was just almost
- impressed when i saw it. but then...NADA!YUK! it is not even a pleasure to
- sit in, let alone to drive. I do not think they are ugly. Just..BLAH.
- so, you can have the 3000GT that you seem to think is beautiful. Let someone
- who appreciates it drive one of those screwed up Rx's, and give me the
- art that i'd love to have in my garage, the 300ZX. i may be heavey, but they
- look good, handle decent, accelerate decent, and are, quite simply, BEAUTIFUL!
- even the ground effects they have are well done. everything looks like it
- goes where is..it should be ther, instead of the mismatched "toss in a bump
- here, we forgot the suspension when we were making the body, and a spoiler
- here, in hopes that i'll look faster..yeah..active now" styling of the
- 3000GT, or the "worse than the old ones" styling of the RX-7.

- PS my sig, apparently, is real enuff, or you would not bitch!
