Let's Be Honest...
First off... I wanna say that the RX-8 is a quirky car, and that's part of its appeal. It's a sexy car with defined curves and sharp flares. It's a good looking car, but I think it could have more sex appeal.
This question isn't for people who bought their 8 because they wanted a practical fun car because your answer is obvious but I want to know: would any of you like your 8 better as a coupe, or even a 2 seater? I think a 2 seater car that looks like the 8 would be absolute sex on wheels (it is anyway but it would just look so right with 2 seats and 2 doors).
I love my suicide doors but practicality aside, I think I would love it if my 8 was a 2 door. It would open up other setup options like targa or convertible.
What do you guys think? Not taking practicality into account, would the 8 be a better looking, better feeling car if it had 2 doors?

I personally don't think it would look that good with a 2door it's a "bigger" car compared to 350z and g35 but then again it's hard to say because we have only seen it as a "4" door!

I love the way the 8 looks. The only problem I have with the suicide doors is their functionality. They are far less functional than I thought they'd be...

I would've gone the path of the rx-7 if it weren't for the extra doors and seats, although a convertible..hmm sounds interesting lol. I mean they had a 2nd gen rx-7 convertible right? wonder how it would look.

I admit, I love targa tops! If I could trade the 4 door design for a targa top 2 seater RX8 I would consider it.
Still, it depends on the style and look of the car.
However, I will say that the RX8 as it's designed is very usable. Having no B pillar allows me to transport things I could never transport in another sports car of the same size and certainly not in a 2 seater.
I have moved myself several times with nothing but my RX8 and one trip in a friend's truck. I've transported pop-up tents, whole bumpers, 4 tires w/ wheels and all kinds of other stuff.
It's one of the only sports cars you can own and not have to own anything else.

if the doors were longer and everything else stayed the same with a targa like my old supra..
