RX8 is a cross of what?
 

I am curious to know what all of you have experienced since you have owned your 8's. For me the 8 is a cross of the s2000 and past rx7 's of old. It handles like it's on rails but yet takes to the highway like a true tourer. What cars do you think Mazda tried to emulate in their design of the 8 and if not do you think they just did their own thing? I tend to think that Mazda took the idea of mating the s2000's handling and high reving prowess with a mighty mite engine and coupled it with their already high tech rotary know how. Chime in!

it's a cross of many cars thrown into one

care to elaborate! thats teh point. wan tto know what you think they looked at when designing.

Saturn Ion and S2K.

You got the Saturn part right! But I think the other half is either a 787b (or is it 747?) or Honda...you know, the ones you use to mow the lawn...


J/M:D

BTW, John Deere wups Honda's ass!
And this thread should be either on the General RX8 or Lounge forum.

Nooooooo, this is a competition race, whoever comes up with the most useless answers before the thread is moved wins!

So my latest answer is a Peterbilt Semi and a Chevy Nova

Honda S2000, and i think it has a little bit of a Miata stance to it.

Obviously, the RX-8 is the lovechild of a Miata and a Studebaker Avanti. And I suspect its grandfather is a Tucker Torpedo.

I was thinking more along the lines of the 360 modena and the murcielago. How's that for optimism? hehehe...

Boxster and BMW 330 sedan.

on a serious note..........I like the s2k comparison a lot and the boxster because of the roadster similarities and rev happy engines although more so with s2k.

peterbuilt was definitely taken into consideration and the fact they have been mentioned twice on the site much less this thread is amazing! honk! honk!

btw if this thread isn't worthy of rx8 discussion IDK what is.

Miata and RX-7.

Sorry, last time I checked it was on the racing forum.... :D

Well,
It's a mixture of Kentucky bluegrass and California sinsemilla.
Everyone knows that.

The Baller

It's a mixture of good vodka and vermuth. Or wait... maybe that was my martini. I never can remember.

---A

that's the ticket!

Don't forget the Tribute.

I dont know when I look at my 8... She just looks like an 8 to me.

That's pretty close actually!

sake and sauerkraut

in that case, I goofed. sorry guys.

you mean grey goose and red bull
