this could get ugly. but i'll chime my opinions. rx-8 would be on my list too. other cars i would include:
nsx only coz of its price but otherwise a fine automobile
s2000...same as nsx
eclipse gt..... not a fan of the newer ones, doesn't quite match the predecessor in any respect IMO
vw beetle.......the fad is over, this car should just die. haha
pt cruiser.....same as beetle
these are just my opinions. none of these cars are really bad but a lot of the hype for these cars are unjustified in my eyes.
