Doesn't that look like an RX8?

It will compete the same way that the Camaro competes with the RX-8.

Pretty much down the line.

...compared to the BRZ:
Worse interior, handling
Better torque, power, heavier


They can't do "lightweight" or "suspension". They even say in the concept that is linked that the chassis will be based on the Cruze...


People will still buy it. Unfortunately.

a little. 150 hp is way too little. Needs an extra 100 more hp.

Don't like it, and it does look like a mini RX8.
I'm waiting for the next rotary car, or just breakdown and get an Evo9/10.

Yes, I think it looks like what an RX-8 would look like in a Lorax commercial.

If GM is gonna mess around with stuff like that, just bring Pontiac back as your performance division already. They should have never axed it in the 1st place, but we all know GM has a history of not listening to what their customers want anyway.

LifeAfterRx8 04-20-2012 07:53 PM

Saying that horrid of a machine looks like an 8 is like saying a cobalt looks like a corvette...

Well come to think of it, they do share the same steering wheel and tailights. :lol:

monchie 04-22-2012 01:11 AM

It couldn't be an rx8 for sure.

kondypl 04-22-2012 11:24 PM

chevy.... lol

I think people are misinterpreting what is meant by "looks like". It does look like an RX-8. It has some styling cues that were butchered from a series II RX-8. It's not that someone would confuse it with an RX-8 if it one drove by.

I don't think anyone is trying to argue that it looks as good as the 8 or even comparing it directly to the 8. There are just some similarities.

TeamRX8 04-22-2012 11:51 PM

the first year production run will like share a lot of similarities too ....

I don't get it??? This new platform which will be the chassis for the next Camaro, is due to run a 2.0 turbo with 270HP/260 Ft/lbs, so why the lame 1.4 turbo? Looks like GM is going to shoot themselves in the foot before production. If your going to tout how great the car is, at least use some of your assets.

they shot themseleves so many times at their foot that they dont even feel the pain anymore. when all else fails, just say screw u people that i owe money to and becomes government motors again.

remember all the hype of the chvey volt? omg the greatest thing on earth, and it end up worst than toyota prius and hyundai sonata hybrid. oh did i forgot to mention its a fucking hybird, not a pure electric bullshit they first said? even in pure ev form it stil worst than a nissan leaf. sad
