Many of us still feel that way for much longer. And unfortunately, many of us have had that love soured to disappointment, bitterness, anger, betrayal, hatred.
Me? I still love mine, 4.5 years later.

LOL... yup. Eight years with this car now, and I just got back from a 600 mile, 12-hours-in-one-day-driving road trip.
And my thought when pulling into my driveway was,
"Darn it... home already!"
23.5 mpg BTW... not bad for 74mph with A/C!

2 1/2 months with mine and my girlfriend accuses my Eight as being the second girlfriend.
...I correct my girl and tell her "Huh? You're the second girlfriend."

I have had mine for about 8 months now. I love mine a lot. It's my favorite car I have ever owned. It is pretty much everything I want in a car. Though, it would be nice if it had about 300hp instead of a little over 200. But, that's a small issue.

^ 5 new england winters here as a daily. By far the best winter vehicle I've ever had. And at 99,500 miles, still basically no rust.

I survived the last winter just fine. Not to worried. That's what snow tires are for.

Same here, sometimes I think there is no escaping the emotional addiction, lol. Eight years with mine as of this weekend.
And yet I want a CX-5 sooooo badly, and yet... I keep putting money into the RX-8 instead.
Seriously, it IS a little disturbing. I've owned other cars I've really liked, and sure I've missed them when trading them in. But the idea of "trading in" the RX-8 feels more like abandoning a beloved pet at a shelter or something.
