Here are my observations of the new concept. Some are pointed out by members already but I thought it is nice to collect the thoughts for a comparison:
1. longer hood than Mk I. If you look from the door towards the front, this long hood makes it look like Aston or Corvette (or Mercedes SLR) like. The front line of the front dorr is more vertical down from the A-pillar to make this effect. It seems that the added 3 inches to the overall length is for the front.
2. the front opening looks like the new Evo X (no one notices that?).
3. the LED light is the hockey-stick lights from Audi. I hope they make it as the day-time running light.
4. the side windows are a bit larger because of the raised roof. However, this looks more like the 370Z now.
5. the roof line to the back is similar to 370Z. Someone mentioned this might be a hatchback (liftback/fastback), but I do not see that. I guess there is still a trunk, not a hatchback.
6. the arc of the front wheel was carried over from Mk I. I think this feature will stay for production model. This is just like the ones found in RX-8.
7. the see-through A-pillar is gone and replaced with a more conventional one. So no see-through A-pillar for production?
8. the back lights are changed into something similar to the front, which I like. The little wing is more for personal preference.
Overall, this change to the concept makes the car more like the 370Z. You can call it ricer or more Fas and Furious likes if you want but that is again the personal preference.
I think that is what I have so far, any addition/corrections are welcome.
