Def bigger. Put the RX8 next to cars of the same year and it looks small.

FD's are nice... But for some reason I prefer the 8. The FD to me looks too smooth. But, I like curvy cars, so yeah...


Still though, it was definitely a car ahead of it's time as far as styling goes.

If the 8 looks huge compared to the fd it's a giant when parked near my miata.

Haha, that's awesome.

Heck, my Mx6 can eclipse an FD parked side by side, and they've got similar body lines. The FD is just so small, it's funny.

Despite being a messy garage, what's in it is pure win.

When you drive around in a RX-8 you're sitting position is similar to other cars on the road. With any generation of RX-7 you sit lower than everyone else.

Like to see an RX7 next to a 350Z. Even Nissan says it is a scrunched up Maxima.

As much as I love the RX8, I still prefer the FD RX7 styling over the RX8. The RX7 has that wide and low pure sports car stance an RX8 can never have even with wide tires and flush wheels. The curves on an RX7 is so natural from front to back, which reminds me of a modern E-Type. After almost two decades, the FD still looks modern and timeless.

This is why I love the 7 AND the 8. I honestly can't tell you which I like better, they are very different as evident by the picture but they are both great to look at from every angle.

RX-8 vs FD

RX-8 looks fast when standing still.
FD looks fast when its moving backwards.

the Rx-7s shapes are all so simple, nothing but function - and i LOVE that. the Rx-8 seems to bring some flair (and fluff) to the function, but honestly, i grew to LOVE that, too.

next to my Rx-7 (Gen I), my 8 looks huge. next to my girlfriend's Impala, it looks so small. i can't wait to see it next to my new Gen II.
