Yea!, the front is a little more aggressive now (if tiny shade of S2000 in there). I wish they had done something to the c-pillar though, as that was my biggest complaint. Just does not flow, IMHO.

Talking

Wow, it looks different from the April 2001 Super Street I have that has an article on it. So...anyone know when it will be available on the market and anyone have an idea of a price, I've heard around $30,000. Can't wait to go to the local Mazda dealer for a test drive.

so so.

I like it, but is not a REX, that is a family car. 4 doors, 4 passengers, no turbos.

The good thing is that the engine is a 10000 rpm rotary -the RX most important part- , that´s a nice point.

The RX-8 convert the 3° gen RX-7 in a true classic sport car.

I still think the front end needs improvement......


Just remember, it IS just a daily driver. If the next RX-7 looks like this, then we SHOULD bitch and cry!!
