Of course this is Japan. I am actually in Okinawa. I gave the guy a thumbs up, and his girl started laughing.

damm, and I just went by the dealer saturday hoping they would have one to check out and maybe drive, lol.

I hope it doesnt suck. I've been told by a few people that the 350z is better, I drove that the other day and it was quite a disappointment. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

I bet cash that the RX8 is gonna suck balls.

Any takers?

I think it is going to suck too. I did see a pic in the new SCC with a body kit that looked pretty cool. With out that kit I think they are kinda ugly.

It's not going to suck, the pics don't so it justice!

I'm not going to compare it to anything. It's like if I compared my REPU to an RX-7, well you know what I'm talking about. Apples and oranges.

Ive seen it in person, and it looks good, but how it drives will

be another thing, it gets good reviews, but honestly I see a short life

ahead for the car, people will still be afraid of the rotory and after

the couple of thousand people that buy one will, the car will die out.



Just like the Thunderbird, they came out with it, it was in demand, and now sales have dropped to nothing and so Ford is going to stop selling the car.



Certain cars have a limited market, the RX-8 is one of them, so when that marketshare buys one, then Mazda will be sitting on whats left.

Even if they gave it more horsepower, Joe car buyer who doesnt know dick about rotories will still be scared to buy one, add to the mix that car companies are going to stop leasing cars and it spells disaster.

The average Joe car buyer doesnt want to be stuck with a old rotory thats out of warranty.



I hope Im wrong.

Rob I hope you are wrong too. I am buying one if my test drive goes well...
