The Nissan is too 'boy racer' for my taste. I like the look of the Crossfire, but have no clue about how good a car it is.

I've love an RX8, but the fuel consumption would put me right off buying one.

No one has mentioned ENGINE consumption either, like one every 40K miles! Plus loss of 'compression' from 20K on.

If you're going to go somewhere in a car, you might as well go sideways.

As mike says ok while they are working!! a wankel is never going to be as reliable as a piston engine.
