A lot of truth to the above statement - at least according to quite a few people over on the 350Z forums. Since I've had my Z, I've spent a lot of time in those boards and the RX-8 subject has come up a lot.

Of course, it's awful difficult to get 4 people in a Z so the RX-8 does offer some alternative choices for those looking for a "sporty" car that can hold more than just 2 people.

I'm sure it's a lot of fun to drive!
