Stll doesn't make much sense. I cannot imagine many people would take the time to discuss that they think a car is not that good looking.

I assumed you were talking about me since as far as I can remember I am the only one who said it isn't all that pretty in this thread and doesn't own an 8 at the moment.

The 8 doesn't have enough power for me, true, but, I'm spoiled. I can look past that for what else it offers. As a daily driver, I do, and always have, thought it is a great compromise. That and I will be co-driving a 1998 corvette race car next year :D

I talk about how ugly some cars are when I'm with friends. It just comes up in conversations or when we see a certain one pass by. I wont go into list of ugly cars because I've said my peace about them in previous threads. :D

If they think that the rx8 is in the top 10 UGLIEST, they may as well include some ferrari's, lambos, a maybach, benz slr, and other cars that take EVERYON's breath away!


.. those bastards!

Hahahaha!

Actually, it's my feet :p

Ward Auto is part of that bankrupt Montgomery's Ward.

With such good judgement, I can't imagine why they'd be going bankrupt :p

I still think the people who say it looks good are crazy.

ahh..I figured it was one or the other lol :D

Bah, they have no taste.

Among many of my artist colleges, they've all commented that the RX-8 looks beautiful.

Some people wouldn't know beauty if it slapped them in the face. :)

I was going to either purchase the 350z or the RX-8, and picked the 8 cause it looked better.

Bah, your artist freinds can kiss my ass. I have some arrogant freinds too and some of them agree with me. It ain't that good looking in my, and others opinion. It's not ugly, but it's not beautiful.

Respectable artists in the 3d community they are, these people are hired and PAID because they can make pretty pictures. So, kiss your ass they will not.

I bet your arrogant friends are the type that have to read the description next to the painting to understand or get anything from a work of art.

Yeah, my freinds are hired and paid too. I'm sure many do the same stuff as yours. Bottom line, who cares if an "artist" likes the way the car looks. Is that supposed to be some sort of gospel. It's nonsense, and a piss poor argument.

lol, well, I respect the opinion of someone who gets PAID because they have good judgment in aesthetics. People who are educated on the subject matter.

I'm not saying your opinion is discredited, but to me it's more valuable if a professional artist likes the look of an 8 than just some un-creative person who chances are, doesn't even know a good piece of art if it hit him in the face.

it's kinda like, I'd respect the opinion about the way something looks more if it was coming from Beethoven, or Van Gogh, than Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Mr. Bush.

Dismissing it as nonsense only further proves my point.

"I'm sure many do the same stuff as yours."

care to elaborate on that?

Arnie is an artist. Actors are artists. Haven't you seen Total Recall. Pure brilliance...

I'm curious as to why you think Beethovens opinion on how something looks is important.
hmmm

because his work shows exceptional creative ability in the field of art.

He was creative, imaginative, and broad-minded.

Note that you conveniently left out "chances are" I'm not deeming that I know for certain you can't recognize good art, because I don't even know you, I was simply making the assumption that there's a possibility you can't because you seem to have trouble recognizing the value of an artists opinion when it comes to aesthetics.

Not only do you seem to have trouble recognizing my point, but you felt the need to arrogantly discredit my colleagues opinions just because they don't resemble your own.

I also find your motives here questionable considering you don't currently own an RX-8.

Don't like the look? Hey, that's fine with me, but when you start spouting that people should kiss your ass and that their talking nonsense because they disagree with you opinion, I'll be here to put you in your place. :)


"Arnie is an artist. Actors are artists. Haven't you seen Total Recall. Pure brilliance..."

I think pumping Iron is his best to date...

I recognize your point and think it's pretty close minded. I don't discredit you freinds opinions, but I don't put them on a higher level as you do.

As of this moment, I have negotiated the purchase of a car with a dealership, all they need is to find the car I want, and I have it.

What about saying people have no taste and wouldnt know beauty if it slapped them in the face because they don't agree with your opinion? ;)

I don't think it's close minded to respect someones opinion if they dedicate their lives to something that reletes to the topic.

I don't discredit anyones opinion, just value some more than others.

you bought a car when you didn't like the way it looked? Dude chances are it's only going to get uglier to you over the years....


I see you point, but please do note, I do believe I said "some people" and it wasn't because they think the 8 looks bad, those types of people would most likely find many things I think are beautiful, ugly. You directly referred to my colleagues while my statement was not directed at an individual. Thats where I see the difference.

So, I'll re-phrase, "Some people" doesn't imply "all people who dislike the 8" I'm sure there's some bad ass artists out there that dislike the looks of the 8.

and not having "Taste" well, that's just my opinion.

It's not that I don't like the way it looks, again, I don't think it's ugly, I just don't find it particularily attractive, it's a little awkward. In any case, I don't really care what it looks like, I care how it functions.

If looks are totally out for you then I would suggest an STI or EVO. Great cars in the performance realm imo.

and Please tell me you test drove an 8 before you decided to buy one. :)

Are you suggesting there is something wrong with the looks of the STi or Evo? <waits eagerly for a response>

well yeah, there is so much wrong with the looks of the sti and evo! :D (weeee, this is fun!)

Man, have you guys seen that new STi?! Nose of a pig, I say. :D

The STI looks like CRAP! Just messin' with ya Ike, the new 06's look pretty cool. :p Can't wait to see if that rumor about about them redoing them for 07 is true.
