RX8 for $30k, no thanks.

Just heard they said the RX8 is going to be $30k loaded, for that ugly thing? Too bad, they failed miserably on that one...

i like it, the only thing im kinda sketchy on is, side impact safety.

In all the pics Ive seen of the car, there doesnt seem to be any kind of beam or support between the doors.

Maybe im missing something here i dunno.

I really like the car,
... but I couldn't, or Wouldn't, pay $30k for it!
That seems like a really steep price tag, especially since just about everything that costs that much is gonna kick it's no torque having a$$.

give me all wheel drive or take my license.
Even my wife's SUV is all wheel drive.
I told her she could have whatever she wanted under 30k as long as it was AWD.

I'm not much of a Front wheel drive person (in fact I hate it) but that new Mazda 6 looks pretty cool and has nice specs (220HP)

It's better looking than the 02-03 and 04-up Imprezas.

That's a tough one to call, Dan...I would say it looks better than an 02-03 WRX, but hard to say about the 04's...

The RX-8 is a better looking car but........

I have a 02 WRX and I'm buying a 04 WRX STi.

I'm not going for looks.

WOw, I think the RX8 is awful looking! =) Funny how opinions differ. I figured when I started this thread more of you would think the same. Funny. Im the minority I guess. =)

I don't like the way the RX8 looks either. The Mazdaspeed version is SICK though.

Amen. Most of the uglies can be made to look pretty damn nice with a ton of modding...
