Radio aerial
One thing that would spoil the Rx-8 in my opinion would be to have a radio aerial sticking up. The radio aerial should be in the rear window heater strips like many other new cars. I don't know if this impairs quality but all the cars I have been in with this type of aerial have sounded fine.
What do you think?

I have a similar type of antenna in my Millenia and am pleased with the reception. I agree that the antenna should not be visible, as that is a thing of the past.

The imbedded-in-glass antenna's aren't quite as good as a regular antenna, but they aren't bad.
They make windsheild replacement very expensive though!
If the 8 doesn't come with the antenna in the glass, a good alternative would be the type that extends upward and reward from the A-pillar.
Short stubby antennas on the roof look good on sport sedans, but I think they would look out of place on the 8.

I like the antenna on the new 7 series, that little fin that's on the roof. They say you need a better antenna anyway now, because of the Sirius radio option in cars coming out.

Used to have an oldsmobile that had the antenna that was a wire embedded in the windshield.....got crappy reception.
Now, I have an Accord with the rear window defogger type antenna. I get VERY good reception with that. I personally hope it's this type in the RX-8.
What do you think about an XM option?

My dad's subaru forester has a window aerial and gets great reception but its not really in the rear window its in the two side rear ones so maybe thats why it gets good reception.
