mx-5 or rx-8??

one is a semi-chick car, the other has too many seats and too many doors.

MX-5 where got lousy sia. The new one with looks nice and has a powerful engine. Moreover, it handles as good as previous MX-5.

I don't really like the RX-8 in terms of performace. Too little torque and gear ratios too long. Not to mention the hilarious fuel consumption. I like the styling though and of course those doors.
