    You mean the Altima Coupe? Meh, they're okay. I don't like the trunk at all. Looks frumpy.

    You'll make less power, be less reliable, and get 1/2 the fuel economy. Have fun with that.

    Yea rotaries have failed so hard in racing it's unbelievable.

    And I agree with Mazda having the best styling. Definitely my favorite Asian car brand next to Subaru.

    For a racecar that doesn't have to last more than 24hrs they're great. For everything else they're garbage. Why anyone would want one for a streetcar is beyond me.

    Also, before you bring up the argument;

    787B != RX-8

    Plenty of people DD rotary cars with no problems at all. You know how to maintain one or you don't, it's that simple really.

    btw, could someone tell me how to quote multiple posts?

    Not sure how the 8's hold up but I've had more than one buddy with FC RX-7's that have been nothing but mechanical nightmares, even with proper maintenance.

    The rotary engine itself is pretty much fail in it's design. It makes the power of a boosted four cylinder, the torque of a Honda Fit, yet gets the fuel economy of a V-12. Why?

    Probably, the rx8's motor isn't regarded as the best rotary performance wise that's for sure. It did a lot as far as overall efficency goes, I don't think Mazda designed it to be a pure performance engine.
