I love Rx's!! they are sweet cars!! a FD is about one of the ONLY cars i'd trade my Xfire for!!! but... the Rx8 just doesn't have the look of the 8 IMO... its a beautiful car even if it does look like a frog! I love the 8... I wanted the 8 before the Xfire also...
I rode in my buddies and I feel in love with the rx8 ... the ride to me feels very sporty... the noise I love... the interior is nice... and the overall performance of the car is astonishing with such a small *** engine... but those rotaries are amazing!!!
Why did I get the Xfire?
EVERYTHING about this car... the interior IMO is even nicer! The performance is outstanding even if people wanta call it slow... the heated seats

great speakers that blows the Rx8 outta the water... handling is perfect...
But I think you have to fit your car... I fit my car very much... the entire style and the overall generalization of this car is my personality! ... I think you have to choose what fits you the best with your life style...
my buddy jim got the rx8 cuz he didnt wanta stand out a lot... and with it in the dark green... not many people will give it a lot of looks... no one is gonna ask that Rx8 what kinda porsche is that !! 8)
