If you had to liken the RX-8 to an animal, what would it be?

I think we can safely rule out elephant. If nothing else, it's far too nimble to be an elephant.

 

Cheetah. Sleek, fast, nimble =)

 

Let's be realistic here, it's no cheetah. Maybe some sort of cat though, like a lynx.

 

angry bucktooth guppy :o

 

Why? I thought a cheetah and an 8 had a pretty close 0-60 time =)

 

definately a cat with its great handling, but no lion tiger or cheetah. Maybe a lepord? lol

 

Meerkat, like Timon on Lion King.

Or Flounder from Little Mermaid.

 

A hippo! Very cute but very slow..haha

 

cat obviously.

 

Weird. I was just thinking about this yesterday... briefly. My conclusion was a fox.

 

fox is good, their nimble and moderately fast, pretty cool looking.

 

To me it looks like a hammerhead shark.

 

+1

 

I would have to say more like a Mountain Lion, fairly rare, fast and agile. But you could also say its like a snake cold blooded doesn't move to fast when it is cold but once she is warmed up it has no problem, and always draws attention no matter where it is at.

 

It looks like some sort of shark... dunno about hammerhead though. ^^

 

I also thought about this yesterday (briefly), and concluded some sort of cat or possibly a fox. She's foxy!

 

a badger ... what kind of thread is this?? LOL

 

For those who look at car like a sex symbol to pick up women, they'd have to call it a Beaver or a Feline of some kind. :D

 

a black panther



Not the fastest but definitely one of the coolest and meanest looking one... :D

Plus look at his nose doesn't it reming you of a Rotary symbol...

 

King Cobra

The hood kind of looks like a snakehead.
Here's a cool photoshop challenge - Fangs on an 8.

 

Hummingbird - quick, nimble, darting

 

Great American Jackalope? :D

 

NONONONONO. Our 8 would actually be a squirrel because we're harmless. :D

 

How about chameleon? There's the unassuming and mild-mannered 4k and under, and there's those 7-9k runs where it shows its true colors.
I have too much time on my hands.

 

A gazelle pops into my mind, those animals are quick and graceful. That's how a Rx-8 drives, compared to other sports cars which I compare to a charging rhino.
