What do you think about this RX-8?? anybody know the weight of the car?

 

I like the looks, although the 3rd gen RX-7 IMO looks much better, but lets give them the bennifit of the doubt for now. I sat in one at the N. American Auto Show (Detroit auto show) and to my surprise, i was very disapointed with the interior. The shifter was about like the one in my 99 Civic SI, good but not short, decent feel to it. And the most surprising, i think there is more head room in the S then rx-8, very low roof line on the inside. Fit and finish seemed OK, but nothing overly impressive, i liked the interior on the 350z a ton more, not to mention the shifter in the in the 350 is MUCH better. Have read a few reviews, one said the car actually understeers?(don't make sense to me) Most others said the car will oversteer with proper use of the right foot. Cant wait to see a few auto-x, and see some around town to run them. Now what I'm waiting for is for someone to take the RX-8 power plant, and stick it into a Miata, now we are talking

I think it's not all that great-looking. Fender flares are...unattractive, to be kind. I will be interested, though, to see if they come out with RX-7 -- now that would be cool.
