Well, the RX8 was sold. The wife wants a new car before me move. Hey, if I have to get a FWD family car, it better be a fun one. I just want to go on record and say this is not my car. I love it for what it is and it will not be replacing the RX8 in my heart. I'll get another RX8, you'll see.



Anyway, I just brought it home from the dealer, the batteries in the camera were dying, and the sun was going down. Better pics will come.



As soon as she's fully broken in(gonna be a while, I average 5500 miles a year) I'll wind her and let you know how it is.

The XRS only comes with the six-speed...I wouldn't have it any other way.

nice car, and great choice in color. the corolla S's were fun to drive, and got great gas mileage even while beating on it.

great gas mileage, and reliability.. which is why i got my honda



but how can you step from an rx-8 down to a corrolla? my guess is that you got dicked over on your trade. (if you traded)
