I usually hang out in the 5.0 area so forgive me if some one has already mentioned this, but has anyone noticed how much the 2005 mustang looks like the Mazda RX8 from the side porfile, seeing as how ford owns Mazda that kind of makes you wonder. Just for the record I do think the new stangs look sick. I just thought I'd point that out what do you guys think, consperacy? Some day we will all be driving Japanese cars

Long hood, short rear deck, swoopy looking greenhouse, there are a lot of sporty cars that match that description. I see no conspiracy (or great resemblance) here.

I don't see a resemblance and I think that extra door on the RX8 really messes up the streamlined look of the RX8 >_<. It's pointless too.

If they were really alike, the new Mustang would have more room in the backseat since that's one of the RX8's selling points.

Doesn't Ford only own like 30% of Mazda? I guess it really doesn't make a difference either way though.

89 droptop. You drive a 15 year old fox body, and a 36 year old Dodge. Both decently handsome cars, HOWEVER, is there ANYTHING truly modern that you actually like??? Or are you one of those traditionalists that grumps at anything that pushes the envelope a bit, and has drank the same brand beer for 40 years? Just curious, ignore the sarcastic beer prediction...

Pardon my ignorance. But what is a 2000 DTS? As far as the RX-8 resembling an 05 stang. I don't see it, but hey if you do. More power to you.

These are the same guys who say a GTO looks like a Sunfire. I don't get it.
I see no resemblance between an RX8 and the new Stang. I dont' get it.
