Like I said, I was late to the party with these pics, having found out they were leaked well after the actual leak was made public. In another thread, the car I THOUGHT was the concept was this...

Now, is it just me, or is that car completely awesome looking? A hint of heritage, sides that look like a Jaguar, some sweet tailights, and a nose that I could live with. That car would look at home in a row of Camaros, without question. Its funny, because I found those pics while I was still at work, and showed them to my Mazda6 driving co-worker, a self-proclaimed know-it-all when it comes to cars. Even he said that thing is flat gorgeous...alas, its a photochop. Thanks to Lew to waking me up quick on that one. I only figured it out when Charlie was discussing parts of the concept in a thread that weren't part of the above car

Don't ask why I thought those were official, but man that car is sweet. On the ride home last night, I pictured myself driving that exact car, and how sweet it would be to be revolutionary AND a bit retro. To be honest, whoever designed that car deserves a medal...I'm waiting for January in person, but so far I like that car more than the "official" photos

 

IMO, at least the front end is not all that far off. The one you're talking about has a lot more 4th gen in it, however. But, in terms of similarities I see plenty of common themes/lines.

 

Maybe that's why I like it so much...its sleek, its slick, and it looks like an evolution of the 4th gen. To me, '67-'69 was a long, long time ago (11-13 years before I was born, to be exact). 2nd, 3rd and 4th gens were all sleek...why shouldn't a 5th gen be?

Without question, the official concept has some sleeknees to it...but this design in particular just spoke to me personally, I guess. The concept has me focusing more on the retro bits than the actual car itself. I like it, but I'm not in love yet, and will wait to see it...

But that above car I've loved from the second I clicked on the link

 

never liked the front on that one.

 

Looks like an Eclipse to me.

 

No mi gusta. The front end is decent (only decent) and the rear end is hideous.

 

We are talking about the black concept.....right?

 

Si.

 

Interesting, I think those tail lights (a bit smaller) would work perfect on the real (feels so good to see this ) concept
