Default Look better than SC???

I was at Goodroads (wheelshop) yesterday and one of the staff was taking pics of a Mazda RX8 with new Foose wheels to put on their website. I asked why he never put the pics he took of my car on the website. I told him my car looked better than the RX8. He said it didn't.

My question...does the RX8 look better than our SC300/400?
I like the RX8 but I don't think it looks better. I am not being biased. I may be giving in to my personal taste....that's why I wanna hear what others think. The RX8 is one of the cars I was considering getting so I do like the looks.

I like the RX-8.. I really like them, but more than my SC.. Nah

Ive always loved the design of the SC and everyone I seem to run into does too. No worries about what one reporter says. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

1 vote for SC

I think the RX8 is ugly. The front end is a rip off of the S2K and the rest of the car doesn't flow very well. They look odd from any angle.

The RX-8 is ugly imho, the rear doors on that car just kill its looks. I like the front and rear of it tho and the seats are real cool. So SC vs. RX-8 .... i vote SC

That's a tough one, both rides look great.
I'm going to wimp out and say they both look great with the right wheels and suspension set-up. I really like that one silver one with the 3 rotor swap...i've got a pic of it around here somewhere...

I'm sure you're going to get an unbiased response here And the RX-8 forum will agree with us (sarcastic)

Hell no... The RX8 is genuinly ugly. The SC has a style that isn't matched by many cars these days. SC > RX-8

SC is better looking than the RX8. In addition, it is no Lexus

To me, the RX-8 looks really ugly!! I prefer the looks of the sc. But if we were to compare the RX-7 (93+), then my vote will go to the RX-7.

A Mazda? It's like comparing a Wal Mart jewelry box to a "Robin's Egg Blue" box! It matters outside as well as in!
