New owner.......
Just took delivery on my new RX8 and must say very very happy....
In the last 3 years I have had a total of 6 cars.....
Seat Leon Cupra
Honda Accord Type R
Seat Leon Cupra R
Honda Civic Type R
BMW M3 (2003)
and now a RX8
Out all of the above cars even the M3 (Although the RX8 in a straight line doesnt touch the M3) it handles the most dreamiest (if thats a word!). It feels like it can handle anything you throw at it....well chuffed!
Yours one happy UK owner!.
Bring on the B roads!.

1994 Nissan Sentra (yuck - never go that route again)-got rid of it in '98
1997 Mustang GT (yes, technologically its a dinasour - but **** loads of fun to drive)
2001 VW GTi VR6 (nice on the insides and good all around grunt)
2003 Mercedes Benz C230 Kompressor Coupe (nice - didn't excell in any category - did have a six speed thuogh and all kind of aftermarket susp. goodies)
2004 RX8 - just wonderful :D Only complaint is gas milage.

Awesome and congrats! I was watching a Top Gear video and they raced an RX-8 around a track and noted it was faster (or the same speed) as an '04 M3 Euro. I thought that was crazy! The M3 would definitely kill it in a straight line though.
