Right, because it makes sense to be patriotic with the colors you choose for your JAPANESE cars

i would have jumped at the chance to get an FD with such low mileage...nice choice with the X though. The rx7 is a different beast altogether

Jumped at the chance to pay $32k for a 15 year old car...

I will get the FD. But a car that will hardly be touched makes more sense as a fourth car. It would make sense as a third, I guess, If it replaced the rx8... But my wife loves it. It is a fun car.


And Nongan, you're thick and chunky.

Someone just asked the question: Rx-8 vs Evo X

RWD sports car vs FWD (sorta) Sedan.


The Rx-8 is more fun to drive in some ways, and in other ways the evo is more fun to drive. Overall, I would say I enjoy driving the Evo more... but that just might be because its new. If the Rx-8 had a turbo, I would choose it hands down. Its more of a traditional sports car. The Evo is a sedan, you sit upright. The Rx-8 gets alot more looks than the Evo. The interior of the Rx-8 is lightyears cooler than the Evo's.

I will say this: If you've driven the Evo, and you need that speed, the Rx-8 will feel slow.
The Rx-8's transmission is the smoothest thing you'll ever experience. The Evo is very notchy. Nothing wrong with it... It just is what it is.

The more I drive the Evo X, the more the transmission bugs me.

I LOVE my EVO folks!!
The car is such a great daily driver. Do not F*ck with me!

I am always zipping to peoples homes to give bids and this car is perfect for doing business. I almost bought a '99 3000GT VR4 w/ 6k miles on it. Glad I didnt.

EVOLUTION!
