I think they look ok. In some angles they look a little funny lookin. They'd be a neat little car I guess.

actually, for some reason I think that car looks better in pictures than it does in real life... I remember when I saw it for the very first time in a preview automotive mag 'n' I thought it was the hottest car ever. In person the car isn't quite as striking 'cuz it's not quite as big as you'd think it'd be, but it's still crap your pants nice.

Isn't it 1.8L, and even then it isn't 1.3/1.8 liters. 3 rotations of rotor per 1 rotation of th crank. So 3 comustions per rotations so like the equivalent of a 3.9/5.4L, lol.

238 for the "NEW RX-8" isn't hot. I mean its quick and all and handles awesome but I think Mazda should have kept it up and did something to boost it up a smidge. They would be better if they had some torque though. I guess its cool when you don't own one and you race one from a stand, If your good, you can jump them off the start while they play catch up..
