Hey you RX8 guys out there...i don't know if any of you guys watch Top Gear on the discovery channel (i don't know if it was a re-run or not), but I was surprised to hear what they had to say about the RX8. they praised everything about the car. and i mean everything. what really surprised me, though, was the fact that the host said it was possibly the "best car he had driven this year." awesome words coming from a guy that gets paid to drive sweet ass cars for a living. go mazda!

yeah...something was said that seemed to date the episode...can't remember it though. that's why i mentioned the fact that i wasn't sure if it was a re-run. i was disappointed to see they didn't run it around the track, but comparing the rx8 to porsches and lamborgini's seems a bit unfair.
and as there being a difference between the brit version of the rx8, i was unaware of this....nor do i really care. i was just happy to see mazda getting a big thumbs up and i figured i would just mention it...sorry if i was being too "naive."
There is that one and one by Fifth Gear where Tiff reviews a silver one.
racingflix.com has them both and tons of other videos. you have to pay to get the fast download, but it is helpful to us for getting the file names of the videos.
Then from there it is easy to google that name and find someone who has it uploaded.

What the heck you talking about? The exterior is the same, the interior is exactly the same just on the right side, the engines are the same....
Not sure if they got the carbon fiber drive shaft and LSD but would think they would to.
Are you saying the UK press didn't like the styling, interior etc. That maybe, so have some US press. But hey if Top Gear and Fifth Gear like it who cares about the rest
Clarkson was even reported to saying he wouldn't mind owning one, who knows now that he got rid of his Ford GT.... GHOSTWHISPER

Fifth gear sucks, Top gear is the best, and the one on the discovery channel is a joke!
It isnt even the same show, so much cut out, and all the cars suck

I saw that last week and yelled when they showed it. My roommate and I are both heavy Mazda fans.
I got goosebumps watching it. That car is still at the top of my list for what I'm getting next. :thumbs-up:
