I just was wonderin what you guys though of these new cars? I personally think its great mazda is bringin back the rotary.. does any body know if they've made a better solution for there apex seals..i heard that GM had made a good alternative but couldnt get the rights using the rotary..i only heard that though, not sure if its true though.. well, i hope see what people think

I love the RX8, it is great to see mazda bringing thr rotary back for sure. In terms of power i dont think that it will have the potential that the 13B has, but is a testament to the engineering people at mazda to be able to get the same hp non-turbo that they did in the 13B. I would guess that the engine will be much more reliable that the 13B, mostly becuase it it is not turbocharged, the twins on the 13B cause a hella lot 'o problems as most of us know.

I also like what they have done with the looks of the car, I love the sleek lines and it just screams to be looked at. And with the addtion of the suicide door have made it a lot more appealing to the guy who has a family but still wants a sports car. I know that I will be getting one after I graduate in 3 years after I pay off my Miata, and by then I hope that all of the bugs that come with a 1st run will be well worked out, as well as by then having strong aftermarket support so I can make it my own little money pit. I also love the little rotary shaped stop light on the rear under bumper.

The new Z also is nice, I know of a few of my freinds who have Z32's who say that although the motor does not have as much potential as the old Z32's did, it is a great progression for the Z car line up and hopefully will pave the way for more down the road. The car looks stunning inside and out and I love the guage cluster a lot. I would buy one of these also if I had the money, and I love nissan so i know that they will come through on this one.

it's tiite that mazda is bringing back the rx series as well as nissan with the Z. Performance wise, they both look great. I still like the old rx-7 lines better than the new 8, but even though i think it looks a bit bubbley, i would still drive that thing anyday. I think the Z just looks all around perfect (except that metallic orange colour ) it will come in other colours right? Ide like to see one in all white with white rims and white interior... i have a thing for white cars
