RX-8 wins in Abstentia
 

From an Autoweek "Daily Drive" on the 370Z:

"As much as I like the Z, my heart belongs to the Mazda RX-8 in this class--I know, big surprise. That car feels much lighter on its feet and there is a connection between the driver and the car there that the Nissan doesn't match. Of course, the Mazda is riding off into the sunset after this year. Wonder whether there are any deals to be had on a RX-8 R3 now?"

That was by Road Test Editor Jonathan Wong. He has been a rotary supporter there.

One of my friends owns a 370Z. I absolutely love the way it looks, but was disappointed in its build quality - mainly interior. It's quick enough, but I still wouldn't give up my '8 if he offered to trade.
