Rx-8 In Car And Driver
#21
A couple months ago, I really started getting itno the RX-8 in a big way. Before, it was more like 'meh' like the RX-Evolve and RX-01 because, like them, it was only a concept car. But as the info about it kept coming, and the chance it would actually go into production kept increasing, so did my interest. I think it peaked when I read Csaba Csere's report. Man, it outdoes the 3rd gen in every way other than straight line acceleration. Lack of forced induction is probably the reason. But with this much performance, most people won't even think about it (after their first test drive, that is). Then again, the Renesis is supposed to handle forced induction really well, so . It's so much more practical than the 3rd gen as well. I'd get one.
