If the RX8 wasn't on the market ....
 
Just out of curiosity, if Mazda wouldn't have come out with the RX8, What car would you be driving today and why?

I know this has been asked before...but.....

Probably a GTO since it is:

RWD
2+2
V8
good quality
comfortable
fast/sporty

The 05 Mustang was a finalist but the rear seat headroom was very bad, your head rests on the rear glass (I'm 5'11).

But then again, I would have to re-do my extensive research before I could be sure.

Red Devil 03-03-2006 08:21 AM

Probably an STI, or maybe an FD.

Luftwaffle 03-03-2006 08:47 AM

Third Gen. :D:

Raptor2k 03-03-2006 09:07 AM

Maybe a Mustang or a used, high mileage G35....something around 25k or less with 4 seats that won't get me killed in real life and on insurance (sti)

vectorwolf 03-03-2006 09:15 AM

NC Miata. :) My last car was a '97 Miata, so I probably would've just traded up to a newer model. Actually considered buying a Mazdaspeed Miata before I got the new job.

TownDrunk 03-03-2006 09:19 AM

Hmm... Probably an Elise.

Tirminyl 03-03-2006 09:31 AM

350z

RotoRocket 03-03-2006 09:33 AM

350Z.

There's a certain uniqueness about the Z cars and the RX-8. Always was.

Dinhx8 03-03-2006 09:39 AM

Acura TL, G35, Civic SI, s2000, new miata

ZoomZoomH 03-03-2006 09:41 AM

probably just kept my old Protege as daily driver and either a) maintain and work on the FC or b) get another fun car to play with...

Chrisbert 03-03-2006 09:42 AM

S2000 and some sort of beater pickup truck.

newcastle 03-03-2006 09:44 AM

A used fully loaded G35, STi, or GTO

yiksing 03-03-2006 09:46 AM

Z

Arweg 03-03-2006 09:51 AM

DreRX8 03-03-2006 09:53 AM

G35 Coupe, 350Z, or 330Ci.

RotarySpirit 03-03-2006 09:55 AM

IS 350 I think.

RX8_GT 03-03-2006 09:56 AM

Third generation RX-7 - unmodified or lightly modified.

AQA101 03-03-2006 10:57 AM

Z or 250 IS

HolyCross05 03-03-2006 11:30 AM

Civic SI or G35 coupe

Rhawb 03-03-2006 11:34 AM

325Ci

mike1324a 03-03-2006 11:42 AM

Z, g35 or STI

CrazyRX88's 03-03-2006 12:17 PM

I don't have a RX8 but if I had the dough it would be a G35 coupe.

9G Redline 03-03-2006 12:31 PM

3rd Gen
s2k
mx5
G35

Not necessarily that order, but one of those.

Aseras 03-03-2006 12:53 PM

i'd have probably stayed in my civic...

rodrigo67 03-03-2006 01:28 PM

I would have kept my porsche...

BlueEyes 03-03-2006 01:33 PM

What type of Porsche?

MyRXdrug 03-03-2006 01:34 PM

unfortunately I couldn't afford a Z...
so I would've gone with a RSX-S, TSX, or WRX

dmorales 03-03-2006 02:03 PM

In this order:

FD Rx-7 :)
Supra TT :Eyecrazy: (If I could afford it..?-not sure on prices)
E36 M3 :cool:
2g Eclipse/Talon GSX/Tsi (4g63T + AWD = :ylsuper: )

shaolin 03-03-2006 02:08 PM

S2K...

and I like my Porsche also ;)

NomisR 03-03-2006 02:08 PM

I would probably just be driving my RSX but I would most likely end up getting a Elise or Exige.

RA-Eight 03-03-2006 02:32 PM

Probably in this order:

-AP2 S2000
-FD RX7 (but mostly likely wouldn't find one in very good shape)
-'96+ E36 M3
-'05+ G35 coupe
-'05+ STi

Ike 03-03-2006 02:39 PM

An Evo :)

therm8 03-03-2006 03:00 PM

most probably an LS2 GTO.

longfury 03-03-2006 03:03 PM

350zed.

If I had not driven the RX8 when I did I would be in one now.

BlueEyes 03-03-2006 03:05 PM

You're canadian aren't you?

tominavl 03-03-2006 03:22 PM

An '06 Miata. It has a sweet 6-speed with a nice short throw. Maybe not as fast as an 8, but very fun to drive. :score:

longfury 03-03-2006 03:38 PM

Nah. I am from Georgia. I watch too many shows from the UK and US shows with canadian and british actors :p

BlueEyes 03-03-2006 03:44 PM

Exxcelent. The invasion has begun!

ZoomZoomH 03-03-2006 03:45 PM

i lift up the bonnet to check the oil and put my luggage in the boot :o:

cretinx 03-03-2006 03:55 PM

993 Porsche Carrera

toca 03-03-2006 04:01 PM

playdoh43 03-03-2006 04:26 PM

we should just say that Canada is hiding weapons of mass destruction, send out troops in and take it over. you can never have enough land and natural resources.

BlueEyes 03-03-2006 04:31 PM

We shit on, then lit fire to the White House once before. I won't hesitate to do it again if the need arises!

Ike 03-03-2006 04:53 PM

Do you think we'd really need troops? :rofl:

No, just people who can drink real beer!

Edit: Oh, the question... probably a GLI Jetta if VW ever imports a good one to Canada ever again...

BunnyGirl 03-04-2006 09:55 PM

If there were no RX-8 I'm not entirely sure what I would buy. Either a Miata or a Mustang, but most likely the Miata.

Bindon 03-04-2006 10:23 PM

Id probably get a WRX... and mod it to kingdom come!

mkztg 03-04-2006 11:08 PM

Is the RX-8 never came out I would have wanted a 350z but I need 4 seats so I would have gone with a G35.


Thank god the RX-8 came out.. :mdrmed:

UFGator12 03-04-2006 11:09 PM

Sorry boys, but a 350Z.
