looks kinda cheap... and that rear center cup holder thingie...that is a deal breaker for me if i can't remove it for my kid's access from one door opened...

i dont get the wow-factor looking at this car so i think i will pass and just drive my G35C for now. :D

the back seats looks terrible. The interior aint that bad. Needs navi and some racing seats. i kinda like the gauges. Still waiting for the turbo

I'll wait till I can actually see one... and get my hands on it

:iagree:

They look horrible.

yah but if you put recaro kids seats in them it can look better.... :ugh2:

:tup:

Back seats apper to be an after thought. I would rip them out the day i took it home if i bought one.

I'm trying to figure out why I'd buy this over an RX-8. Looks? Gas Mileage? I can't think of anything else unless they drop in a turbo.

As a protest against Mazda's annoying, way over-played, retire-it-already, "zoom zoom" slogan?

Probably because the engine won't require you to pour in a gallon of oil every seventeen miles.

Also, it isn't a hideous recreation of a car that came before it.

:bowrofl:

Hopefully new FT-86/BRZ owners don't find the back end of an RX-8 hideous...cause that's the part they will usually be seeing. :D

What makes you think this? The car makes slightly more power, but it makes it in a pretty inefficient manner. It's also heavier.

I see it as a pretty close race, but I expect the Toyota to have better balance, especially considering the praise early drivers are tossing on it.

No one ever bitched about an RX8's handling, it's superb. As far as straightline acceleration, I was 1/2 joking. The RX8 will be a just a tiny bit quicker. I've seen reviews that put it at low 6's 0-60 and 1/4 mile at 14.5. This is close enough to be a driver's race. My main point is, other than looks, this car almost IS an RX8, just with a lot "new car buzz". Nobody's raving about the performance window of an RX8 and this car almost exactly matches it. I'd wait for a turbo model before I'd be interested.
