ok guys this past week i was in south florida mainly the keys but then new years eve we went to miami (south beach). I have a few pics that i will upload later of a maserati and a sweet m5 and such but heres a short list.

5 masarati quatroportte's, one was a baby blue color which really looked good
3 f430's looked great but my dad and i decided that we liked the sound of the gallardo better
m6
2 aston martin db9 convertibles.
6 rolls royce phantoms, almost sounded like a prius when it drove by very slow because there was hardly any noticble noice and this was on a deserted street.
Maybach, ugly color combo and 57 but looked ok but it was parked next to the phantom and well the phantom stole the show.
rs4 and z06 playing on the highway...later saw them both pulled over
tons and tons of 7 series a8's and s class. All the hotels parked out front all the nicest valet cars so it was a great sight to walk around and see all of them but unfortuanly my camera died very soon after i got there so i only have a few pictures which i will dowload and put up.

South beach/ miami area is an amazing place for seeing cars i was amazed even though i go there a couple times a year of how many cars were all cleaned up and rollin through the city last nite.

Saw the new AUDI S3 yesterday, but couldn't get a picture. Instead, I found this terrible colored Mazda RX-8. Terrible.

The CL has some very similar aspects to its design ...don't you think?

I think perhaps Mazda got some ideas from early spy shots.

this RX-8 is terrible as you said Christian. Ugly as hell, even though in any other colour it looks great!

PS. I haven't spotted any car for two days. I haven't got out of the house since Thursday night... i was sleeping all day long yesterday and today i'm having a party at my house (it's my nameday tomorrow)

I actually love Mazda RX-8: but in yellow, the car looks hideous.

And yeah, the CL does have similar design aspects. The hood, front / rear fender flares. I don't think MB copied Mazda though. In fact, I find this whole "____ copied ____" stuff pretty childish for the most part.
