One thing's for sure. Mazda certainly didn't' try to rip off the S2000's good looks. That RX8 is just plain ugly!

It obviously wasn't a performance based test... I didn't see numbers for the cars other than for crap like 'ergonomics'. Who cares about ergonomics... I want performance as should be obvious by my current car. I don't like the Cobras 'ergonomics' either but I like that I can stab the throttle just about anywhere in the first 3 gears and start 'shakin my ass'.
Also, I think a moderator should append to the title of this thread "In non-performance base test." I have G-Teched the Cobra's 0-60 many times and my worst is under 5 secs.

All they looked for was how comfortable people could be, and how fun it was to drive - hence, the RX8 one.

Cobra is faster than both of em', G35 is classy, RX8 revs high and comfortably sits 4 adults.
