This car is going to be unique because of the rotary and its "4 door" configuration, a true state-of-the-art transmission can wait.

I want this car for well under $30k. The only "options" I want are: 1) MANUAL transmission 2) Leather 3) CD Player 4) Moonroof or sunroof and 6) Folding rear seats.

I realize a sunroof/moonroof and folding seats may not be realistic because of rigidity issues, but hopefully they'll be offered.

Keep your damn $1000-$2500 GPS, and $3000 sequential shift trannys. I'll use a map and shift myself. Just my $.02. Thanks.

I competely agree with with everything here. There are plenty of cars in the $30k+ range that have things like GPS, Tiptronic, Push Button starter, etc. etc. If I wanted those options I would buy one of those cars not the RX8. Those extras can wait.

I also feel like a lot of the current GPS Nav systems suck. I was loaned an Acura CL-S for about a month and the Nav system didn't have maps for most of the towns I traveled in, therefore it was completely useless to me. It could tell me my longitude and latitude, but that doesn't do **** if you can't tell what road you're on.
