it's An RX8. It's not how you spell it, but rather how you pronounce it. An F-15 airplane. An E-350 van. The english teachers lied to you whent hey said vowels only get an "an". Hope it helps!
Let me ask...If somebody was to ask... What car do you own?
A Mazda RX8....OR An Mazda RX8. I think anybody with a basic understanding of the English language would support the latter. Sometimes, the rules of language are confusing

But that wasn't the question....
Throwing the word 'Mazda' in there changes things.
I own an 8

Its funny how most words that start with a vowel take on the AN. For example .. an apple, an image, an ipod, an eraser. BUt for the RX8 its also an. Weirdd

an is used before a vowel. a vowel is not how you spell it its how you pronounce it for example u is a vowel, but you use a unit, not an unit; again h is not a vowel, but you say an hour, not a hour.
If a word *SOUNDS* like it would start with a vowel, it takes "an". This is especially applicable to letters/acronyms since 1/2 of the letters in our alphabet sound like vowels and the other half sound like consonants.
Think of watching Wheel of Fortune... You might buy an "I" (Eye) but you would also ask for an "R" (Are). On the other hand, you would ask for a "C" (Sea) or a "P" (Pea).

But, what if i wanted to buy an "S", because you dont buy a "S"
but now that i think about it, you start with the eehhhh sound.
i think, if it sounds right, you go an... thats the rule lol
