Sure the EVO is a better performing car than the 8 in just about every catagory but I prefer the driving experience of rear wheel drive versus all wheel drive. I also chose the compliant ride of the 8 over the EVO and I like the looks of the 8 and interior and comfort far better. you don't have to remind me of Mitsu motors either. I had a first gen eclipse with a 20G turbo, and a whole list of other mods and that car was a monster. Maybe I'm getting old too, but I couldn't see my wife,kids and I tearing up the town in a EVO, besides I wanted something different this time. and with the RX8, it will give me and education in enthusiast rear wheel drive control!

I drove the evo, sti,z and decided they were all great cars but for me thr rx-8 took the cake.
Many due to its driving feel,fit,functionality and design I purchased my 8.

But for me comparing these cars is like apples and oranges , I can'nt knock em and whenever I see one of the big three
I just say "congrates on you're ride" and move on.

---Yet i cant help to wonder how the evo or sti would favor aginst the rx-8 if the were n/a :D

Good call Hammy.

I love all enthusiast cars, but there are only a select few I'd want to *own.* But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate other cars for what they can do... or look down my nose at others for what they pick.
