Lexus IS 300 Sports Sedan Vs. RX 8

RX-8 Forum
Magazine review said 'rolly suspension' - garbage
C&D said torque is lacking - garbage, don't need torque.
Magazine with 6.2s 0-60 time - port stuck, preproduction, means nothing
Unreliable rotary? - garbage, Mazda claims otherwise
Best Motoring video - bad driver, other drivers too good, port opening problem, means nothing
174whp dyno - bad machine, wrong number, wrong engine, not broken in, means nothing
.........

Seems you pick and choose what magazines you pull reviews from. The majority of all the media, have not reported any problems with rolly suspension, lack of torque, 0-60 times, rotary unrelability, road handling & track performance, or mislabeled and/or lack of hp.
By the way, did you really drive the RX-8, before you rant? So much for a real review. You have no credibility here. Just shutup already.

in my opinion, i dont think rx-8 is built for speed, drag racings, or any straight line competitions, but rather more towards the sheer overall performances
between the g35c and rx-8,
i will never buy a g35c for the time being thats for sure (perhaps in a year or two if they have some improvements) Their interior SUCKS big time, its cheap, its ugly, and it is not even sporty. the car do have power and good handling capability, but i refuse to acknowledge such edge when you are to forced to sit in that same nightmarish interior whenever your commuting (goes the same with sti, and evo 8, though not as worse)
i am very closed to seal a deal for rx-8, until, that weak dyno comes out, and i remember once again, that i was driving a lexus (lexus to mazda is quite a bad choice) and to make rx-8 even at a disadvantage, i test drove, a f/i is300 :p

the is300, g35 coupe, and rx8 can be put in the same league if you think of them as 4 seater sports cars. i drive both the i-s and g coupe.. hope to test drive an rx8 soon to see how it compares. but between the i-s and g coupe, they are both excellent cars.. but i like the i-s a tad bit more cause it has a better feel to me along with slighty better overall quality. i am considering trading an old es300 of mine in towards either an rx8 or rx330 lexus.. but that's further down the road.

I ignore your comments because you ARE a troll. I don't have to put up a defense, because I know the truth about this car. Unlike you when you spew half-truths from you mouth.
You never did answer the vital question. Did you really drive the RX-8. I saw you didn't. I'm calling you out. By the way, if you believe the RX-8 has 'rolly suspension' (how YOU could prove that I don't know, since you didn't drive it to find out), then the G35 must roll like that ill-fated fishing boat on "The Perfect Storm".
How can ANYONE value your opinion? They can't, so like I said before, Shut UP!, and crawl back under the rock you call the Fresh Alloy Forum.
