I like that everyone has seriously considered this, rather than saying WTF THAT ISN'T AN RX8 ANY CAR OTHER THAN THE 8 IS TOTAL CRAP
I'd do it if I made money on the whole process. Unfortunately I think the Evo looks kinda rediculous.

i would trade my 8 if toyota releases the new supra, aside from that i would go big 545, M5, RS4, NISSAN Sky line. those are the only cars i would consider.

Not a chance. I would be embarassed just driving one around because it looks so boy-racerish, while the 8 looks classy and sleek. Sure its fast, but it's just a econobox with good power and 4wd. The 8 is truly something special and unique from everything else.

Wut da F Y'all lookin' @!
If I could lighten my lead foot then maybe I would consider trading the 8 in for an Evo! I think the Evo is exhilarating to drive (not to say that the RX-8 isn't)! It depends on what you want in the car. If you are looking for mods and can't wait for the 8's market to build then the Evo is a great option! If you want a little more comfort with your performance than the 8 is the better choice!
Really I wish I could have both!

Short answer - no frickin' way.
Long answer - the 8 just seems to have a bit more mystique about it, and I like driving a rare car. I also don't like the exhaust note on the Evo, or the "ricer" image that comes with it (and the Sti for that matter). The 8 is far more understated, and I like the refinement of the interior. Yes the Evo might be faster but speed is not everything - I can drive the 8 all day long and not get tired. I don't think an Evo would do the same.
