I really love the Rx-8, but with half of the people in Michigan having A Plan that works on Mazda, they will be all over the place since it is already a low cost sports car

i know it's not on your list, but if i were to get a 350z...i'd opt for the G35 Coupe.

I have to go with the RX-8.. I have a '03 Protege 5 as a dailer beater and it is such a fun little car to drive around.. The interior on most Mazda's I have seen is actually above average.. Why don't you have the G35 down as a selection too.. The interior looks nicer in my opinion than the 350Z..

If I had to pick between the G35, 350Z and RX-8 I would do the G35 hands down..

Just my thoughts..

The G35 is a great car and definetly would be on my wish list. Drove it and gotta give infiniti credit for doing a superb job. Only thing is, I am getting somewhat tired of the exterior, even though it is beutiful and plus many of my friends already bought it.

As I said in your other post reagrding this.

The 350Z looks like a frog trying to take a crap. The RX8 is much better looking IMO.

i happened to park beside one (RX-8) last night at the club. way smaller than my car. the back seat is an absolute joke. and the styling just isnt doing anything for me right now. perhaps it will grow on me. but right now i would, maybe, go with the G........

The 350Z is nice but the interior is very cheap. The RX-8 has a very cool interior but the exterior is a little weird. I would also recommend u to get a G35c. The car looks great inside and out, its fast, and handles great. It looks incredible with a staggered set of 19s.
