Carview.co.jp Rx-8 Review
The imperfect translation is from Babelfish. Some of the interesting parts include another mention of a 3,000,000 yen price for the high power version, and the "surprise at the thickness of the torque".
http://www.carview.co.jp/magazine/re..._2/default.asp
"Finally the RX - the day when the steering wheel of 8 is grasped did! As for this time testdriving prototype. If you refer to the software, it hits to " beta edition ", but really trying meeting, you were surprised in height of the degree of completion. As for the development person in charge " as for " the stage SI rising condition which is advancing final maturing job destined for the sale which plans next spring, " however 8 tenths " you had commented, the SI rising had reached to high level in exceptional case as a prototype. As for this evidence of the thing where development is advanced quite favorably. Expectation rides more and more.
Appearance has followed the model which is displayed in Tokyo motor show of last year. Being very light, supplying adult 4, the stripe you cannot think the lux which adopts, the element which such as glamorous front fender the sport car seems and low nose and compact cabin generously uninformed. Then you hold down the feeling which first, is popular and try sitting down in the rear seat. When the front door is opened, next the rear doors of the rear hinge are opened, the big opening appears. There is no B because pillar, getting on and off characteristic is highest. The Kuu ? the extent which does not become comparison you can board easily. Admiring the above that is width. Approximately the adult of the height 175cm / the 170cm sitting down, still room remains in rear seat paternal home. Matsuda insists " 2 + 2 as for not to be, the full 4 seater - " with there is no exaggeration in the comment which is said. In addition in trunk golf bag 2 set and 2 small-sized Boston bags of full size receipt possibility. Privately sufficiently as the family car using I you thought as the ?.
When the ignition key is twirled, while sending the sound which dries it started turning the RENESIS smoothly. The body body you insert 6 speeds MT which are decided in 1st gear and are light the clutch of the ? the meat. The accelerator is depressed lightly, it is the instant which is, you were surprised to the thickness of torque. When you mention the rotary engine, smooth it is one class item, but it had the image that torque is thin entirely,, but the RENESIS betrayed such a preconception in good sense. Although being the natural inhalation engine, as for putting out strong concave fast torque you think to here they are many ones. That being, smooth only of the rotary engine it is not completely lost. Painfully while making the exhaust note echo which dries the ? manner and the like without showing completely, oh with while saying, it finishes to turn to the 9000rpm of the ??????. Looking at the specifications, 250ps in, " the RX - as for 7 although it was the 280ps...... " with the person who remembers unsatisfactoriness it will be, but the total degree of charm which includes the response and sound et cetera the RENESIS is on clearly. From as my perspective " falls in love " for the first time it is the rotary engine which.
As for the footwork above expecting being pliant, as for riding comfort it is very good. If this there is no worry where complaint comes out of the family and the friend of the rear seat. With saying, what you think it makes riding comfort, with running as a sacrifice is the big mistake. The lightweight compact rotary engine the front mid- the RX which was stacked - as for front and back weight distribution of 8 ideal 50: 50. Yaw moment of inertia and the RX - furthermore 5% where big effect is produced on cornering efficiency are smaller than 7. If word of the Matsuda engineer is borrowed, " because there is a nature which is superior, thoughtlessly the foot not setting, it is running to be able to make good ".
Actually, the RX - handling of 8 is piquant. The roadster and the RX - about 7 is not sharp, but the excellence it shows control characteristic keeps driving that much, rather and effectiveness of the steering wheel does not decrease completely. If the steering wheel is cut, the extent which is cut it is funny the sea urchin nose keeps entering gouy gouy. If me you know, coupled with the electromotive power steering which is finished in worldwide highest feeling,
The RX - as for 8 high safe margin and preeminent enjoyment the preservation ? it is way refreshingly you run and come out the winding load.
This time became test drive only of high power specification, but also 210ps version is prepared in these other things and this way can choose also the AT. The price which becomes matter of concern " expense included 300 ten thousand Yen are planned with 250ps version ", it could pull out comment. 4 adults boards easily, the sport car which has the running which still is splendid for " to be packed, it is packed and can buy 300 ten thousand Yen ". This already also not becoming the ?????????, it is not possible not to observe. "

oh my god. That is truly one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. I just had two of the designers here ask me if I was ok because I was laughing so hard. I don't have any idea what the thing actually says because every time I read it I start laughing again. In any case, thanks again Buger.
And as a side note- Engrish.com has more stuff like this that was actually translated by a person- which makes it even funnier.

:p I have to admit, I was laughing reading the translation too.
I did find something about urchin noses. Unfortunately, this info does not bode well for Mazda...
