I like the RX-8's styling better than any Porsche I've seen...and Lambos are a tad blocky. Go ahead and call me crazy, but it's my personal preference. I'm not saying the RX-8 out-performs a Porsche 911 Turbo, but I sure like the RX-8 a lot more.

Plus, the RX-8 has a Rotary engine and I love the exhaust note...soooo..... yeah....

Pick up was moderate if that, handling it was so-so, major problem for me was though that when I was taking a corner at if not below 20mph the steer wheel was trying to reel itself back to go straight. Right then and there I decided I didnt like the car. Sure it wasnt the SS and I'd like to think they made improvements on it but for the normal Cobalt I'd have to say its not that great.

After the Cobalt I went to the Mazda dealership and test drove a Mazda3 and yeah big difference, handling was awsome responce even better and no nasty steering wheel trying to right itself upon entering a corner. Thankfully/Sadly (depending on who you ask) the salesman pointed out the Rx-8 and it was all said and done from there. Loved how it wasnt a torque monster but still wish it had a bit more, but for me to much would just land me in to much trouble. I got it because it handled great and the looks just screamed pure sex hehe.

Oh and that Cobalt Engine yeah its a small powerhouse for a 4 banger if you will just wish it was put into a RWD app and then it would get more respect I bet.

No one gives a **** about the plastic econbox.

That econbox is butt ugly and it comes with a shitty piston engine and its a FWD car. Fuxk outa here.

Period.
Couldn't of said it better myself. The Cobalt will go the way of the Beretta, and Cavalier Z24 in a couple of years. the RX series will remain.

Yea, you see those on the corner every day though. You wouldn't get the respect and looks that you get from driving the 8.

do you ever wonder if people just start these dumb threads just to see how many pages they can rack up in a day? this was posted last night and we're 8 pages in less than one day. i mean, seriously, this couldn't have been a real question could it?
