right on...i hope they take a lot from this car and use it in the next RX be it 7/8/9. This car is just simply stunning to look at. Mazda is moving in a great direction.

Mazda CAN move in a great direction, just like they could have many times...\

they keep upping he ante on the mainstreamers, and leaving the performance cars out to dry

right now the 2 best mazdas (rx8,mx5)....are the slowest cars they sell here

can someone tell me why there are MS 3's and 6's...but no 8's or 5's....

because typical American car buyers prefer Torque and not "balance"

That is a false choice.

One can have both torque AND balance...throw in 'non-ugly' for good measure.

Maybe it's because Mazda is Ford's bee-yatch. Ford surely does not want any more cars out there revealing what a stone cold piece of ***** the Mustang is.

Imagine how embarrassing a turbo RX-8 would be to Mazda's Detroit Masters at FoMoCo.

From: New Hope MN,
well i did own a 2005 Legend lime gt mustang bought brand new... had it until when i finally drove the rx8. Lets just says it was no where near as fun to drive as the rx8. Acceleration is abit sluggish and corner handling... well it takes alot to get its big *** around the corner. I love my 8. I would take it over the GT mustang anyday

I found a new video on You-Tube.

It is superb. After searching out Mazda Furai, I've nominated this thread for this post, since it seems to be the most appropriate.

Mazda Furai - Real Video











More excellent footage
