How many times do I need to say this? RX-7's were always underpowered compared to the competition. They were also always slower in a straight line in both acceleration and top speed. Yet they did fantastic in racing and people loved them. The RX-8 is EXACTLY THE SAME!!!!!!!!!

I love how the rx7's say the same thing about us though =( too many rx7 heads around here criticize me for having an 8. Oh well, i love my 8 and i'm never gonna get rid of it. 
But hey, i love the rotary community regardless!

It's not working for me...
- Don't like the new front end, it's way too busy. Maybe if they removed all those black plastic pieces they added.
- Don't like the new air vents on the side... it's really tacky. I prefer our dull-but-efficient-looking old ones.
- The new lights are okay, but was it worth the trouble?
- Does anyone seriously prefer those ugly *** seats to the stock leather ones? Seriously? Remove the recaro stiching and take a second look.
But I dig:
- The new fog lights.
- The lil' red markers on the rear bumper
- The wheels.
- The new center gauge treatment.
- New dipstick
We should have a poll !

interior
i was awestruck by the interior, especially the seats and the redline, but talk a look out our interior ... ours still looks better overall i think...ESPECIALLY the steering wheel
) i stripped the *old* wheel of color so the red didn't stick out.

What's odd about it is that it's become a mishmash of random colors and elements. It doesn't flow well.
the interior now has red stitching, piano black parts, silver colored plastic parts, three different shades of gray, and lighter black panels too. The old interior was much more uniform and looked like it was designed that way. The new one really looks like a parts bin.
I still wish I had the red/black leather instead of black/black.

i liked it too- when seen from the side it was exactly in line with the hood. that line was drawn from the hood thru the cut line and across the top of the fender vent.

My guess if this is what happens when you give people that didn't design the car in the 1st place the job of making it somehow 'better'. Instead they turn it into some patchwork quilt of fixes that end up worse and worse - IOW design by committee - a little of this - a little of that..

.. And you can be sure half of those new parts are options that you have to pay extra fort
