I know there are diffrences, but they still look too much alike for me.



RX-8, 350Z, SC430 (think thats the right modle)



and I know, its a bit

A warning of linking to that site would be nice in the future, lol



Perhaps some daytime pics would have been nicer.



And you guys need to stop comparing buying a brand new car with a

full warranty and being used as a daily driver to buying a 10 year old

FD, they arent in the same catagory. Would you let your wife or GF drive

a FD as a daily driver? The car buying public isnt going to drop $15000 on a used

FD just so they can put a new engine in it within a year.



A RX-8 handles really good, and its attractive, it has somewhat of a backseat

while they may not be THAT usefull, it does keep the ******* insurance companies

from jacking the insurance up because its a 2 seater, I should know my dad had a 2+2

300ZX and the insurance was $600 cheaper then the 2 seater. It also has traction control, I know I would feel comfortable buying that car for everyday use, and would have no problem

buying my GF one either.
I think comparing the FD to the new RX-8 based on looks is more than fair. I know some people will like the RX-8. I don't. Yes, Mazda is importing a rotary 'sports car' ( no sports car should have a back seat ) and that's cool. Only thing that back seat is gonna hold is a bag of groceries. I acknowledge your point on the reduced insurance costs.



I drive my RX-7 aproximately 42 miles one way to work every day. My friend Dennis drives his to and from work. Girlfriend can't and does not want to learn how to drive standard.



If your FD motor blows up a year after you buy it, you or the previous owner have done something wrong. That's just a silly comment with no merit.

P.S. Yes I agree, I was shocked when I wound up on the other site

the rx8 is doomed to fail. If i wanted a car like that Id just get a wrx and have awd so i could drive it in the winter.



please god deliver the fourth gen rx7 unto thee. please banish rx8 designers away from thou wonderous dream of a fourth gen.

that one guy was praying
