I mean. They aren't far off the mark. The Renesis was a disaster.

 

Quiet week in car news. Time to beat a dead horse?

 

That photoshopped yellow interior makes me laugh so much XD

 

Just another day of "fd wAs BETTAH." Nothing to see here, folks.

It's funny how there was never an article that compared a V6 Camaro and a Corvette, because that's what comparing RX-8 to RX-7 is like.

Given the price point of the RX-8 and the emission standards, I think the Renny is not as bad as people make it sound. And it's not like the 7 is known for reliability, either.

The 8 would have to be in the 50k range when it was released for a turbo to even be an option.

As for killing the rotary thing, well there are already a lot of fundamental issues with rotaries as a whole for road vehicles and Mazda, as a small company, only has so many resources. Combine that with the "sports car only" approach, it's not surprising that the rotary is out of commissions as a whole.

 

Definitely a click bait to drive up Jalopnik's traffic. I think there is a counter article in Oppositelock that dispelled the ignorant posts. I check out BaT once a while and have noticed good specimen RX8s are fetching good money.
