rx8 on askmen's "most stylish" list

http://www.askmen.com/cars/car_lists...ist.html?FLASH


"The Mazda RX-8’s styling is redolent of the venerable RX-7’s, but it has been modified for a cleaner, more contemporary look. Its exterior is made up of sharp lines and bulging sheet metal that turns the RX-8 into a sinewy, well-muscled athlete in motion. Inspired by its unconventional triangular rotary engine, the RX-8 sports the rotor design elements on the hood, front fascia and rear bumper. Its fender-hugging five-spoke alloy wheels, low profile and side vents work in concert to make the RX-8 arguably the most stylish, lust-provoking modern Mazda ever built.

Uber stylish: One particular design element that stands out is the RX-8's exaggerated front fenders. Not only do these fenders do a seamless job of housing the front projector beams and alloy wheels, but they also make the RX-8 look broad shouldered and intimidating when seen front the front."

sweet. ^I agree - silver? not the best color choice & pic angle to show off said curves.

and I'll just come out and say it - the new altima design is pretty slick.

can't argue w/their choices there. the one thing that really draws my attention to the 300 is the low roof.

And with all the fancy interior gadgets it makes for a very appealing ride.

as much as it pains me to admit it; silver is probably one of THE best colors for showing off the 8's lines / curves

I'm pretty stoked we made the list. Makes me wanna buy one!

I've seen a new altima coupe on the road, and I definitely think it looks...............weird. Doesn't look stylish to me at all. Look at it from the side, definitely an odd shape to it.

If velocity red wasn't the best it wouldn't be the RX-8's signature color.

(ooooh this thread is about to get ugly... )

Agree, and the brake rotors look way to small for the wheels

By the way, it's not that I don't like Silver cars, it's just that they are so bloody boring to me. They don't look bad, they are just everywhere. It blends in to everything causing a unstimulating blur. When I see a red, orange, yellow, blue, or green car, it attracts my attention. I like the Nordic Green, Lightening Yellow, Winning Blue, and Stormy Blue very much. I LOVE THE PHANTOM BLUE .

Silver is the most popular color on a car period. Many people like them. Because of that, that contributes to my indifference of them. I'd never buy a silver car. But to each his own.

And to just make it clear again... I DON'T THINK SILVER IS UGLY.
