Shiet, at first, I thought he has gone to the the "gay" side (not surprising for bay area people) . Then I went back and re-read the title. What a relief!!!

Nice cars. Definitely not good for daily driver. Terrible mpg.
But better looking then the other models.

Isn't the gas millage very crappy? I was considering buying an 8, until I read the millage. Or if you can clarify the miliage?

Anyway, the car looks awesome! I am in no way shape or form hating, because I like them, just gas is an issue, especially with a n/a rotary with sub 20 gas. Too bad for this day and age. I guess thats why I'm going to go with the 08 s2000 cr :/

Enjoy the sweet looking beast!!!!

well the s2k is a 2 seater. the 8 is a 4 passenger.


from owning an FD, I can tell you that a 4 passenger comes in handy.

That thing is awesome! Great decision. I love that interior too, wow. Do you plan on tinting the windows? Those seats might get hot!

I guess it all depends on where you're driving. Even when I'm doing spirited driving my mileage is at least in the twenties, counting the drive there and back. I do cruise quite a bit on the freeways every now and then though... at 4000rpm in 6th gear
