simple question: is the RX-8 a TRUE "car" ?

Some people say it's a car (it has a 4 wheels, an engine, etc), and some people say it's not a car.

Don't forget to post WHY or WHY NOT you think it's a "car"

Hmmm..

It got wheels.

It got a steering.

It got an engine.

It carries people.

It bring one from point A to point B.

If it's not a car, the only thing I can think of that's very similar to this would be, a train!:D

What about a plane or a bus?

maybe it is because it definitely looks like a car.. doesn't look like anything REMOTELY related to a train, even if it does have full size adult seats.

maybe it isn't because to some people, TRUE cars should not have or need seats..

maybe it is because it certainly handles as good or better than most "TRUE" cars.

maybe it isn't because it doesn't have the straight-line performance you would expect out of a plane.

maybe it is because it's braking performance is as good or better than most TRUE" cars. Certainly better than 95% of today's buses.

The problem is that the definition of a "true" car varies from person to person.

purely subjective from that standpoint.

if you provide a clear definition of what a "true" car is, there would be no doubt as to what the RX8 really is...

(with thanks to Squidward from is the RX-8 a TRUE "sports" car?)

'Car" you say!? Hell no, it's a multipurpose movable adrenalin stimulation appliance with magnetic visual gravitation characteristics powered by a strangely turbine-like rotation device. ;)

Maybe it's a car.. I'm still not sure weather the things touching the ground are tires...

I know I can drive it... but that could all be a figment of my imagination..

Yeah, it's rotary experiment #8.

Duh?

If I wanted to buy a car, I would have bought a car!
