i think its trash, to be candid... but i am biased, as i have a third-gen RX-7 still that i absolutely *love*, while a difficult car to maintain it drives like a lotus and looks exotic as hell. the RX-8 looks... well... mundane and common to me. maybe just my opinion, YMMV.
one thing i can mention that i find a very detrimental factor to the RX-8, many have found that the advertised horepower rating from Mazda is *severely* overstated... most found that on a dyno the RX-8 was 25-30hp lacking what it should..
