I didn't call the STi gay, I said the shape of the headlights is gay and not aggressive. Pay attention. And yes, I used the word, "gay." I'm sorry if I didn't break out my master's level vocab on you- I thought this was a car board and not the GMATs.
Statistically, females don't drive stick shift. Since the Spyder has NEVER been offered with an automatic and has only had the SMT for a few years (which doesn't even have an automatic mode, you MUST shift it), I'd say you're way off on calling it, "maybe even the biggest chick car on the road."
And I have no beef with the style of the BBS wheels, it's that GAY bronze/gold sh*t they paint them with that looks fruitier than your banana avatar.

And FYI it's not pink it's cherry blossom red :p
It's a completely different car from the 2nd Gen Twinturbo Mr2.Seriously.. get the evo.. it obviously is the car for you..

If it doesn't have a clutch then what's the point?

Who cares, I have the third pedal. Just trying to add to my point that most owners are men. Try www.spyderchat.com if you don't believe me. While many of those guys are old @$$holes, they are very knowledgeable.

[QUOTE=MR2_Spyder]Not girlie looking at all:
Very nice, Spyder. Looks like a Porche. I have to admit the spyder never impressed me as a girls car. It's too much of an enthusiasts car for that. Celica's are girlie cars. Miatas might be. sti's and EVOs are toy cars for the youth. The older crowd does not appreciate them as real cars. They are low end, over exaggerated street racers for boys. I'd look rediculous in it. I'm over 30.

Now if you're trying to say that a lightweight, mid-engine, rear-wheel drive car in black is gay, then you're just clueless.
About the speed getting old... I think being slow gets older a LOT quicker than being fast. Think about it, Merlin.

You're right slow does get old faster then being fast....but the rx8 isn't SLOW, it's just not SUPER fast. Now if you had the power of a corolla in an rx8 body, that would probably get old real fast...

My problem with you is if your going to rip on the rx-8 and praise another car...Go buy the car you want and get on their forum. P.S. if you think 0-60 in 6.3sec. and a 1/4 mile of 14.8 is SLOW than YOU are clueless my friend.Think about that..Merlin
SO...... just for the record... the STi isn't gay, JUST the pink and gold stuff IS. The RX-8 is AWESOME.... one of the top three cars that I will buy next.
I am not ripping on the RX. I DO think it's kinda slow, though. But it's bittersweet: Waiting for the rotary to build up speed is kinda boring sometimes, but that fades and the excitement from the smooth delivery of power begins to impress bigtime.
I am on this forum, the Z forum, the Evo forum, the S2000 forum and the Spyder forum.
I fi didn't love the RX, I wouldn't be here. I was just messing around about the Merlin thing, cupcake. Don't get upset
