Default Look better than SC???

I was at Goodroads (wheelshop) yesterday and one of the staff was taking pics of a Mazda RX8 with new Foose wheels to put on their website. I asked why he never put the pics he took of my car on the website. I told him my car looked better than the RX8. He said it didn't.

My question...does the RX8 look better than our SC300/400?
I like the RX8 but I don't think it looks better. I am not being biased. I may be giving in to my personal taste....that's why I wanna hear what others think. The RX8 is one of the cars I was considering getting so I do like the looks.

I like the RX-8.. I really like them, but more than my SC.. Nah

Ive always loved the design of the SC and everyone I seem to run into does too. No worries about what one reporter says. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

1 vote for SC

I think the RX8 is ugly. The front end is a rip off of the S2K and the rest of the car doesn't flow very well. They look odd from any angle.

The RX-8 is ugly imho, the rear doors on that car just kill its looks. I like the front and rear of it tho and the seats are real cool. So SC vs. RX-8 .... i vote SC

That's a tough one, both rides look great.
I'm going to wimp out and say they both look great with the right wheels and suspension set-up. I really like that one silver one with the 3 rotor swap...i've got a pic of it around here somewhere...

But have you ever been hit with that jet stream of water that flows off the taillights when rinsing?

I'm sure you're going to get an unbiased response here And the RX-8 forum will agree with us (sarcastic)

Hell no... The RX8 is genuinly ugly. The SC has a style that isn't matched by many cars these days. SC > RX-8

SC is better looking than the RX8. In addition, it is no Lexus

To me, the RX-8 looks really ugly!! I prefer the looks of the sc. But if we were to compare the RX-7 (93+), then my vote will go to the RX-7.

A Mazda? It's like comparing a Wal Mart jewelry box to a "Robin's Egg Blue" box! It matters outside as well as in!
