So I Was Bored...

[Cory Wolfe]

And I was just looking at random past concept cars, and came across one that looked... well... familiar in a way. The 1997 Mazda MS-X.

Minus the wrap around rear window, it looks like a miniature version of a softer A&S Cadillac.

[ocnblu]

Ew, you're right. When did that escape, I mean, when was that shown?

[Northstar]

The front looks more Nissan to me, but the rear is definitely very A&S Cadillac-like.

If you chop off the trunk, that actually looks like the new Suzuki Swift....

That doesn't look too bad..

I have driven that suzuki back in India. It looks better in person and has a 90 hp mill. It is a fun to drive vehicle. It is probably smaller than a Mini and weighs like about 2200 lb.

They had a 4 month long waiting list when it first came out.

That....... That's real!?

It's... not a photochop?

[Flybrian]

No. That looks like the a Dongfeng Sixty-teen featuring cutting edge Artistry & Scientific Design. Is no copy!

[RoadmaSSter]

That is just hateful.

[Intrepidation]

Wow it does looks A&S Cadillac-y....Like a bloated and horribly misshapen BLS with a tumor the size of a horse.

The funny thing is... This concept predated the first A&S Cadillac concept by two years.

[FAPTurbo]

Art and Science?! No way.

Art and Science was cohesive, sharp, and clean looking... not to mention attention-grabbing.

This thing is the polar opposite of those. It's also a pile.

Worse things happened in 1998...

...like the Buick Signia Concept.

Oh, your GAWD! That is disgusting! It makes the Aztek look normal! Oh man it's like a bloated tadpole that was not beatwhen with an ugly stick, but the whole damn tree fell on it.

A CTS with the greenhouse of a 1992 Mercury Sable that shrunk in the wash. Fun.

With the Signia, they were clearly trying to make us change our minds and begin to hate every 1960's Buick wagon styling cue, because they took them all and perversely twisted them. Bleh.

[NOS2006]

Who else sees a lot of, not just A&S, but more specifically Cadillac Sixteen concept in that..?

[Bimmer325]

The Mazda's headlights are all SRX if you ask me.

[Robert Hall]

Interesting how they went from the Signia concept to the Rendezvous....the concept didn't influence the production wagon much

[knightfan26917]

Youch.

Interesting ... but, still ... ouch.
