Talking looks here as in my book they're not comparable.
One has 2 seats the other has 4.

Oh sorry, the RX8 gets my vote on looks although yellow is my least favorite colour. (I hate it!)

And this!

In the second picture it really does look like the back of the RX has been chopped off.

The back of the Z looks a lot more finished and in keeping with the rest of the car.

I still prefer the RX by miles though, four seats and excellent performance, no competition.:p

From any angle other than the rear, the RX8 wind hands down - just look at those curves.

I dont really like the way the rear is styled, particularly the black plastic section at the bottom where the exhausts are and Im not sure about the lights.

I also think the RX8 looks better in the flesh than in pictures(based upon seeing the pre-prod car at the motorshow).

However I havent seen the Z in the flesh so maybe that will look better too.

Also looks wise, the Z interior looks tacky whereas the RX8 is pretty good in my opinion.

Must agree with MarkW, rear of RX8 least favourite and too Japanese for me. Just have to make sure that I park it so that I approach front or side only.
