Smile What type of animal would the RX-8 be?

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

King Cobra

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

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.
