Looks a lot like and RX-8. http://www.autoindex.org/news.plt?no=1199# http://www.thecarconnection.com/Industry/Daily_Edition/Daily_Edition_Sep_1_2005.S173.A9173.html http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/82/ Boombotz 09-05-05, 01:12 AM It really does. addison_ii 09-05-05, 01:17 AM It really does.:yeah: but isn't Ford and Mazda linked somehow?? ie: Ford Explorer/Mazda Navajo. Boombotz 09-05-05, 01:22 AM :yeah: but isn't Ford and Mazda linked somehow?? ie: Ford Explorer/Mazda Navajo. I know Ford and Jaguar, I don't know about Mazda. Maybe they are helping each other out and saving money useing each other designs Ralph 09-05-05, 01:23 AM :yeah: but isn't Ford and Mazda linked somehow?? ie: Ford Explorer/Mazda Navajo. Yes, Ford has a big financial interest in Mazda, but as far as I know, they don't always share designers. Randy_W 09-05-05, 01:25 AM Fors has basically owned Mazda since Mazda got in financial trouble years ago. The car looks nice, has a lot of Porsche ques also. Ralph 09-05-05, 01:28 AM Ford owns about a third of Mazda. They'd been increasing their share since, I think, the late 1970s, and especially in the 1980s. Ford wanted a foothold in Asia.

They might as well own it. mccombie_5 09-05-05, 08:41 AM Yup, Mazda3 = Ford Focus, Mazda6 = Ford Mondeo, Mazda2 = Ford Fiesta/UK Fusion, the list goes on, its a nice looking car rear windwo smells of Ford Capri 90Brougham350 09-05-05, 09:56 AM Boy that's a real sharp looking car! I like it alot. Just why did they have to give it a stupid name like Iosis? Brian Adam 09-05-05, 12:34 PM :annoyed: i dont care for it, does nothing for me. Rolex 09-05-05, 12:52 PM Interesting doors..... I'm sure you'd NEVER get a door ding trying to open them up in the grocery store parking lot. Though I imagine its very unlikely that would be a feature to end up on a production car. The styling is tasteful and clean....but not spectacular. Looks like the front and rear lamps of an rx8, and side view of a Lexus sedan or Maxima. HotRodSaint 09-05-05, 01:41 PM :annoyed: i dont care for it, does nothing for me. I agree. :annoyed: Adumb 09-05-05, 11:00 PM rear windwo smells of Ford Capri theres a car they should bring back, lol. mccombie_5 09-06-05, 07:21 AM theres a car they should bring back, lol. Without a doubt. My neighbour has an imaculate 86. Its fast, and hes also had a refitted interior. White leather slk230mb 09-06-05, 11:27 AM I like the look of it. | |
