After the long wait for the release of the RX8 and some time for feedback, it is finally here. I am curious to know your opinions of which car is the better one. Is the RX8 worth the wait, or had the Generation III RX7 left you expecting too much?
Cheers.
Cheers.

I think you might be better off asking this question in the 8 forum. Most of the guys there I think are ex FD owners. They might be able to give you a fair comparison between them from experience.
Have never driven a 8 so couldn't say, but it really hasn't done alot for me in the looks and the performance department (well from what I've read), compared to my 7.

Note that I also said, "and some time for feedback". Meaning lets see if it stands the test of time. Theres no point in asking your opinion if it has only just been released, because you haven't had time to formulate one.

car and driver just finished a long term test on one. it turned out pretty well, but its not really comparable to the fd. the fd is a fast sports car, and the 8 is a quick 4 seater thats more reliable.

I've driven both cars and found I like the Rx8 more. Not saying that the Rx7 isn't any good, it's quite a nice car to drive with plenty power, but the Rx8 is a nice family car if you have a child.
