I actually looked at a GTO, but they don't have the fit and finish that I'm looking for. I think one of the big reasons I like the RX-8 is the back doors. They really make getting in and out of a back seat easy. I've also already had a SRT-6. I didn't keep it for more than 6-7 months. They are very fast, but I didn't think they were as much fun as the limited crossfires. I found that the paddle shifters on the RX were alot of fun and very responsive. The RX had a very video game feel to it.
