It's a mediocre vanity car, at best.
The rotary design didn't fly before, unless you were a super enthusiast, and it's not flying now. No big surprise.

Yeah, that's right, they happily sell crap because they love pulling every RX-8 vehicle back in for testing at manufacturing plants rather than use their dealers and doing thousands of hours of labor all on their own dime.

/sarcasm

my point is that they put this car into production either without knowing or without caring that it was crap. somebody fvcked up big time. hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20, but keep in mind that the turbo 2.3 is already in production and the same people who HOPEFULLY got their asses fired for the RX-8 are likely to have still been in charge to "o.k." the Mazdaspeeds, as well.
