I was reading those almost exactly as fast as you posted them... thanks!

Well it's not as bad as the anti-hype suggested. I think he's really into uber-sports cars and therefore the RX-8 doesn't cut it in his world but he does say some good things about it: the brakes, smoothness, interior, rear-seats, concept. His opinion that most people find the shape of the Z more appealing is incorrect: my personal straw poll gets 50:50. If this is the worst review we see then I won't be complaining, it's really not that bad people (not that good either of course) .

 

I did a quick straw poll in the office this afternoon and everyone picked the RX-8 as the better looking of the two.

They did like some features of the 350Z but overall preferred the features and looks of the RX-8.

Thanks for that - great stuff.

Looks like they used the same car that was on Top Gear - same numberplate!

 

Well done for scanning the article, now everyone can see what a pile of the article is!!

So, I'll close this thread now so that we don't have parallel threads.
