Of course the "x-men car" for the more enlightened (at least they got it right) and don't forget the ever famous "Britney-car"

My Titanium Grey .. ah .. they said 'the new James Bond car???" .. Yeah, the Ashton Martin that appeared in the last Bond movie ... that's why I didn't get the rear spoiler. Just my personal preference. I want to be Bond .. and not fast and furious ... ahha :D

No one thinks the RX-8 is a faster car than the Viper.

A lot of wealthy people I know don't buy expensive cars to show off or look cool they buy them because they like them, just like you bought an RX-8 because you liked it.
I bet most people here would be getting a different car if they had a lot more money to spare.

Wut da F Y'all lookin' @!
I for one know that the 1.3L engine allows for more space for my **** to rest in the engine bay. It starts getting tighter with anything bigger that a 3.5L... 
.
To answer the topic at hand. I was stopped at a light one day and a woman did ask me if I had the car custom made. I told her there was a Mazda dealership down the street with a few more if she wanted to check the car out!

Mazda must design all the cars since every Mazda looks like a "mini viper". Turbo IIs, 3rd gen RX-7s, Miatas all look like mini vipers. I don't think the RX-8 could even come close to looking like a viper but so many people in this thread have called it "the mini viper".

Unless you equate expensive to exotic, the RX8 is very exotic. It is the only production car in the world with a rotary engine.

What have your 8's been confused with?

Several times this has been the start to a conversation about the 8:
What model Ferrari is that? :p It's a Mazda RX-8. (see license plate) really? must be expensive 40-50k?

I was on a date a couple of months ago with a girl. I picked her up in the 8, she jumped in and said....nice corvette 
!! Then she proceeded to remove her shoes, cross her legs and put her feet on the seat!!!
First and last date with her!! I can't even remember her name!! Nice!!
