You are correct others say it looks like the celica
In 1997 I was driving to El Paso and I saw a RX7 approaching but it was a C5 Vette.

The similarities pretty much end at headlights and a grille below them ... I don't really think they look similar at all. The base C6 looks a little emasculated, but the C6Z is amazing in every way.

That's a FAR reach to say it looks like the miata front end. The only thing similar is the opening in the front...and it's even shaped completely different. Now the C5 and the RX7...just looks like they stole the mirrors from the mazda and they both have pop up headlights. I really like the front end of the C6...especially with a billet grill.

I'll take a C6 no matter what the front end looks like. They are only going to be seeing my rear end!!!!

hey what's wrong with a miata?
check this out....
www.flyinmiata.com these guys are even stuffing LS3's into the miata! how is that for a "mini-corvette"? 2,500lbs and 400hp, 6-speed, sounds like fun!
