With the trends of things, the '80s is coming back in style. With the likes of diesels and F/I cars for a compromise of power and economy instead of big brute force.

I don't think an RX8 can compete with the 370z because it's an older car that was geared to battle the 350z and S2000.

We will see!! Road and Track (or was that MT???) liked the feel of the RX8 better than the GTR in their best handling car in America test...
