The FC is a beautiful car, and they departed from Porsche styling on that one!

I'm not saying the FB was not an original car, because it was, but the styling was pretty straight up ripoff of the 924. Why do you think they made such an early styling change to the car? Even Mazda recognized the car was too similar to the 924, so they updated it to give it some more distinctive styling cues of it's own.

I don't intend to demean the RX7, but the styling was drawn from the 924. The only car that looked even remotely like that was the TR7, and it was a far sight different from the 924 and RX7.
