I read this article today.

Thanks for the bump. I missed this the first time around, so it's my first time reading it.
The author is spot on, saying it a lot better than I ever could. I liked the line "you either get it or you don’t." It reminds me the Jeep tag line, "It's a Jeep thing", but in this case it's an 8 thing.
Normally, I change cars after a year or so. I'm past two years now with my 8. Any time I get that itch, say a BRZ or something, I look at my 8 and think "naw, I'll keep the 8". Surprisingly, my wife said the same thing. The sound of the 8 kinda scares her at redline, but I guess it scares her in a good way

Sure, there are two-seat, 300hp sport coupes you can get in the $30k USD range, but an honest drive in an RX-8 will leave you wondering what group of pucker-assed wannabes decided a “true” sports car can only have two seats.

"It’s a driving experience so pure and so fulfilling that it almost feels like you’re cheating when you get it for so little money."
^This....
I was the only import to place at a car show today...company included Audi R8 and Nissan GTR... yep, feels good.

Thanks for the bump as others have said. Confirmation that I have superb taste in cars is always nice. Lol.
Jeremy Clarkson for all his faults has great taste in cars having picked the MX-5 and the RX-8 in his top 16 ever. All the rest were silly money!
