RX-8 wins Car of the Year

The RX-8 has just won the Australian Car of the Year award- it shows what you can do when bred from a RX-7 Rotaries are still at the forefront of technology.

Does it really matter that much? I don't think so, he's just showing his appreciation for the rotary engine. And I happen to think that FB owners are the most appreciative.

Anyway, that's pretty cool. I wish it had won the Motor Trends car of the year, but ah well.

And here's another thing. A rx-18 costs $30,000, a nice 1st gen about $3,000. Go figure.

hornbm- not a great fan of the lounge, latest thread 'naughtest thing a girl has said to you' is typical. I visit the forum because of my interest in the RX-7 not as a cheap soft **** site. But then, perhaps you have made a contribution to that thread.
