He's as bad as Can
CrossFire: 215 hp@ 5700 / 229 ft-lbs@ 3000 / 3084 lbs
RX-8: 197 hp@ 7200 / 164 ft-lbs@ 5000 / 3053 lbs
Crossfire would be faster in a straight line, ' Overall ' is up to each person, it cannot be answered.

I test drove it and it felt VERY heavy. I am sure that is due to it's MB lineage, but it just didn't feel right. Also as stated before the visibility was horrid.

i ended up getting an 8 over the crossfire because i wanted a manual and i thought the 8 was more fun to drive by far in stick form. if i wanted an automatic I might have gone with the crossfie. I actually like their looks quite a bit and loved the fact that some people hated it.
looks a lot better as a convertible imho.
