silver FD next to rx-8
I parked next to a nice RX-8 last night. Nice car - I thought it was interesting to see the two cars together next to each other.

Nice pic. I think the 8 is a unique car but I'm already tiring of the body styling. Just look at the nice clean lines on the fd that's what makes a classic. Every piece of the car belongs together. The hood, fender, sides, top, rear, it all blends seamlessly, its well balanced, and your eye never tires of it 
Like the 911, or the old jags, the fd has great curves, not creases. I guess I'm a curves guy.

you know for a differet type of rotary car is okay. You guys compare it like it was the next generation RX-7 (FE I guess?) is like comparing a 1st gen with a RX-3 or something. To me they are two different cars just charing a rotary! I would love to have both of them in my garage! I actaully consider trading my wife's Lancer for one but they are not very practical as a family car ( I wish they had a bigger trunk! just my 2 cents

I'm happy with how the rx8 turned out, but there is now way the it can beat the rx7 in the looks department.
The interior on the other hand is a toss up in my mind. The rx8 has a very nice interior..and on top of that can fit comfortably 4 people

IMO, w/o all those extra or added details like lines and cuts in the hood and fenders, RX8 is just about regular newer car.
The RX7 looks very very very good! It's got the classic and blended look like Fritz stated. But, only if the front bumper and turning signal would look more up to date, it'll be the best looking car IMO. Polly the 99 front end would fix that.
