any other 06 or 07 owners saddened
 
anyone else kind of sad or upset that the rx8 hasn't been improved at all. I mean, the toyota solstice or whatever has better hp then my 8. or comparable to it. and when they do come with an improved rx8, I will be driving a regular one. nothing to compensate for that.

Ike 11-18-2006 11:26 PM

If it bothered you're why did you buy the car? Also, what makes you think there will be a new RX-8?

neilp4453 11-18-2006 11:30 PM

well I was pretty nooby when it came to cars. Didn't realize what I was getting into. however,I would still buy teh car if I had to do it over because I still like it.

and i;ve read somethign about a mazdaspeed 8.

just wish I could get one of these babies but it is too late.

Raptor2k 11-18-2006 11:31 PM

What can they improve upon, besides colors and gadgets? Not much. Direct injection, maybe.

And the Pontiac Solstice is a lot slower than the MT.

Yep, just look at his sig. He has at least 4whp more than you do! :cwm27:

HolyCross05 11-18-2006 11:42 PM

I have pics of the Mazdaspeed 8, pm if you want to see what it looks like

Ike 11-18-2006 11:43 PM

Now that I see you have an auto. Yes, you bought the wrong car and will regret your decision for the rest of eternity. Sucks to be you! Have fun trying to keep up with base model Civics.

New Yorker 11-18-2006 11:45 PM

Not sad at all!
Mazda obviously did their homework and hit this one out of the park first time up. Frankly I'm relieved they haven't improved it the way Mazda "improved" the first Miata, Nissan "improved" the first Z, and VW "improved" the first GTI.

Thank you, Mazda, for NOT slowly cheapening, de-contenting and bloating the RX-8!

Dude. Trade your car in if it makes you unhappy or gives you an inferiority complex. Get one that:
1) Has an unlimited RWHP & ft/lbs of torque so you never get envious at the next, newest car that might top yours in their brochure (but has a auto tranny)
2) You mom wouldn't find appealing to drive
3) Doesn't have an online forum/club that you can depress & irritate to a slow agonizing death

CarAndDriver 11-19-2006 02:21 AM

This whole thread saddens me. The reason is so pathetic.

drmrw 11-19-2006 05:43 AM

Actually i'm not sad at all because my dealer, in their infinite wisdom, knew how unhappy i would be with my RX8 (that has had several years to work out any bugs) and gave me 2 prescriptions for prozac with a special non-spill storage unit in the glove compartment.

Dude, Zoom-zoom......not gloom doom......

Tell us about it! That's not all. Do you realize that da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa 500 years ago, and has not made one improvement to it in all these years?

Just a growing trend: make something, then leave it as is.

Someone threw acid on it...

Trekk 11-19-2006 08:37 AM

I dont know about where you live and what not, but I live in a place that has a "speed limit". I really dont care about how much HP/TQ the car has as long as it can keep up with the flow of traffic.

That's beside the point. If "good enough" was really good enough, we'd all be driving 80 hp toyotas.

Your saying AT sucks.. Uhhh.. Nope.

CarAndDriver 11-19-2006 10:35 AM

I'm sad that people drive AT 8s.

Razz1 11-19-2006 03:01 PM

The 8 has improved. The AT has more HP and is a 6 port now.

There are other things they can improve besides color.

Such as memory seats, better cabin insulation. We have a thread on that.

Besides what's wrong with a Sirrus radio?
