The RX8 is what a sports car is suppose to be.

A great handling safe car. Not over powered.

I think it's an R8 but maybe it's a V-12 biturbo RX-8.

Not surprise to see the result. The 8 is a fantastically capable machine that delivers one of the best driving dynamics to those that recognize that performance is not only about hp numbers or Youtube "3 honks" episodes. But this is North America.

Yes, I enjoyed reading the article very much. Let's face it, the RX-8 has NEVER pretended to be anything other than what it is--a very fine sports car in the purest sense of the word. You will not blow people away on the straights, you will not hit 200 mph, but who cares?! If you do care, look to many other fine vehicles, but as many others have said, driving the RX is just such a PLEASURE! It really does turn a routine drive to the store to get some groceries a fun thing! I've had my 2008 since July and sometimes when I look in the garage I still can NOT believe that I finally got one! I also have to admit, that when I read media like this article and they have expert drivers saying that the RX is such a superb machine--even when they are driving $100,000 machines back to back, it makes me say "Oh, YEAH!!". Cheers.
