Review: 2006 Mazda RX-8: Right kind of sports car

http://www.easttexasreview.com/story.htm?StoryID=3663

I consider the 2006 Mazda RX-8 the right kind of sports car for the best of driving in its class as well as for sports car admirers. It is light and easy to drive. The price is reasonable and affordable at roughly $32,000 fully loaded with leather interior and superior Bose Audio system. The legroom at the back and the seat are significantly spacious for average sized passengers and for those people needing some shuttling around town. Also there are even four doors to make such trips as practical as possible.

wash rinse and repeat..

seriously go read the rest of the story. unbelievable

kinda off topic, but never buy fireworks from "Krazy Dave's" if there is a "Rational David's" in town.

normally aspirated Renesis (the name is a kind of acronym for “rotary engine genesis”) now produces 250 horsepower at 8500 rpm--as much power as the turbo-charged rotary of the third-generation RX-7.
lol? I wish

I hope the author didn't lose his/her job.
