I agree.  I was looking through a book recently that included photos of 
the RV8 and MGF. The MGF could have been a Miata, Ford or any other 
marque. Although a bit posh and overpriced, the RV8 exuded British 
character in a modernized package.  I think they could have used the 
styling of that car as the starting point for the F and been a bit more 
successful.  Another case in point:  The new Jaguar XK8.  For all the 
talk about being the heir to the XKE legacy, it looks a bit more like an 
over-priced Ford than a $60K Jag. That brings my opinion total on this 
subject to 4 cents.
