I don't mind the exterior styling...I'm ok with the retro...the chassis is miles ahead of the previous version. What I don't like is how cheap the interior looks. I think they couls have tacked on another $1000 per car and spent a bit on the interior. No matter how good the car looks like of performs if if feels cheap on the inside it just ruins it. That has always been my complaint about the WRX. It always felt cheap inside.

All that being said, it will sell well because the masses don't like to be challenged too much. The styling of the RX8 is more a love it or leave it to some people.

What matters is that Ford win w/the *new* Mustang. Long live the old, but it's still too early to tell whether they DID something truly right w/the O5.

I counted and you are the only poster in this thread to use 'POS', and 3 times as well. No one else has said that.

It's a strange world isn't it... but bless every single soul who buys a 350Z, a Mustang, an RX-8, a Mini, whatever type of automobile that's a cut above, at least they're not settling for transportation as an appliance

I used the word " two-ball bitch" ONCE but not in direct reference to the '05 Mustang.
