Hi guys just wandering which car do you like the most or would love to own one?

I don't want to ask the RX8 people or 350z people

Coz they'll just stupidly just vote on their car :rolleyes:
So i thought the peugeot people can help me

Coz all of you are nice people

Think I'd go for the 350Z... especially as they're bringing a roadster version out, and there was one parked down my street over the weekend (firedance colour!) and it looks great in the flesh!

The Nissan will prob be more exclusive, since they're only a limited number shipped to the UK

Whilst the Mazda may well become the new TT, which ain't a bad thing

I go for the Nissan

Unfortunately youve just asked one of the RX8 people.

Im only holding back from ordering untill I see one. I have to be sure that the back seats have enough room for a fast growing 10 year old.

yeah the Roadster is nice especially with special seats (net Seat)

But the problem is. TWO SEATER!!!! but i like the power and fast for 350Z and nice design as well. The seat always bothers me, Coz i'll only be able to have one person seat beside me and can't have anyone else. Also the Roadster feature is not as good as the Coupe Track version. Such as Brembo and 18" wheels. So hard decision

Been looking at that and getting very jealous of the US members who have had their cars for weeks already.
But at the moment I think Im better off with the CC in this weather.

I like the thinking on the doors of the rx8.

I like more than one thing about the nissan though so it would have to be the nissan for me!

I am sooooo tempted to get an RX8. You can even get a red 'n' black interior, a la CC

But, like all the other new cars I've bought, it's going to depreciate. For the same sort of money I can get an early NSX (if I can find a decent one) or a Porker which won't depreciate much at all.

Well, seriously i love both car for different reason as well

Each of these car have a different advantages and disadvantages, which create a great problem for me

350Z: This car have a great performance on it's engine, and the problem is: It's 2 seaters car!!! I can't get a bunch of my friend to sit together on 350Z.

RX8: This car is much better Handling on Cornering and Smooth engine power curve. Also it has 4 seat!!!! and i can fit bunch of my friend and GF in it together

. But it don't have the great performance as you will expect like 350Z.

That's why i ask everyones opinion

Or probably i should get RX8 and Buy 350Z's Engine from a junkyard and put it into RX8 (As if it will fit):P
