> “The RX-8 is a slow POS.” Which is exactly why it lapped Top Gear’s test track in the exact same time as the 350Z and M3. You guys are a sad bunch of haters. It’s great to sit in, it’s great to drive, and it’s affordable. I’d rather have an S2000 b/c I don’t care in the slightest for practicality, and don’t mind having another car for the winter, but if you can’t be bothered buying a beater, the RX-8 is better.

That’s right, I forgot how many Sonlings have the talents of the Stig.

Sad bunch of haters?

Have you driven one?

Compared to the FD, it is an abomination. It is an attempt to take a niche market car and sell more of them.

And an '03 350Z is not $50gs.

He’s also asking for opinions on the first run of the RX8, which, as we all know was plagued with problems. Like any new platform.

Besides, when you buy a new car, it’s not how much you spend, it’s how much you owe.

Would you really want to get into $500 a month payments on top of insurance and everything else, for a car that’s warranty is up and will cost you boatloads in repairs?
