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.

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.

350Z.

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