Default RX8 TailLight Problem

Sorry if it was already posted but im here in florida and im not sure if its due to the rain or the humidity, but I've been noticing with each rx8 I see has condensation in both taillights. On one i saw more than 60% of the taillight full of water splashing inside. I'm not sure if even the owners noticed it cause if it was me, I would have had that replaced or at least siliconed by the dealership.

Problem after problem with these rx8's. Do you think regarding the engine they would just go with a standard v6 or 4cyl turbo.

The AP1 S2000's taillights never have discoloration problem. No owner has ever asked Honda to replce them. My 2005 S2000's top didn't have wear marks at 1000 miles and Honda never have to replace it under warranty. Let's pick more defects of the RX8...

I personally think that the taillights on the RX8 look like those from some riced up civic.

No, then it wouldn't be an RX. There would be no purpose to make another rx8. The rotary is the one thing that distinguishes it from other cars.
