i think the problem with me was that a lot of my friends that have purchased one boasted so much about it, i think i was expecting too much. granted their cars have been suped up beyond belief but still... come on... slower than a freaggin' civic?

i have and it was disappointing. not enough torque for me. i like that break neck off the line launch which this car doesn't have. Hell the car is slower than a CIVIC SI stock for stock. come on now. not to mention reliability issues. when your engine rev's that high (not that there is anything wrong with that) the parts on your car wear that much quicker and when your putting in some ford parts on top of that...well you know. people want cars that have better reliability.

nice!

Renesis

thats my dream car right there ;)

Never driven one have you?

Mazda3 uses the same duratec 4 which is used in, "European" F. Focus; Mazda designed this motor, however the RD funding came from Ford. Until recently, the motor in Mazda 6 was the same one used in Jag., Lincoln and F. Taurus, as you said, the Fusion for 2010. I merely made some generalization as far as Mazda/Ford, for the clueless here who are ragging on the RX8 other rotary cars w/out much personal knowledge about them. They get the wind of Ford owning 35% of Mazda, then start...

what about mazda b-series trucks (b 2300 b-3000 b-4000) are just re-badged ford rangers

I think Clarkson had a few too many when he called the car 'sensational.' The RX-8 was basically one big dissapointment.

Well first off. About mazda. They make ALL thier own cars, granted it is true they share some parts with ford but their unibodies are all original mazda. Ford actually adopts mazda bodies for thier cars in europe(well some like the new fiesta and ka based on the mazda 2 which is a small car much like the fit over seas). The Focus is entierly Ford and the 6 is actually the ford fusion not the tarus. Ford would do well to start using more of mazdas stuff in their cars.
