the real question is how fast is it vs the Rx-8? i won't ever buy piston-powered auto's again. I'll check it out the cars tommorow at the car show here.
I bet Mazda went and put a POS 140 hp engine in that 6.

It is 1.3 L. We were talking about the 20B.

Maybe if we look beyond the big picture: the RX-8 will probably be in the $30,000+ range, the Mazda6- probably $20,000. Lets not think about insurance either. Besides, who says you cant hot rod either when the warranty is up? For every day driving, I think a Mazda6 might be more feasable, a RX-8 might be more feasable after its a few years old and a bit beaten. Not to mention the ease of repairs, which we all know about that special part of owning a rotory gives us all.

That is a slick car, but I think I like the lines of the RX-8 a bit more. Perhaps it's just the fact that the RX-8 looks a bit odd at first and grows on ya.
