Finally, I will share a few of the pictures I took yesterday that I found to be particularly striking, from to the low sun at this time of year filtering through foilage for the “godrays” effect:

Does that Rx8 and BMW have the same wheels?

Also, I think the Rx8 will become cool some day. I suppose they are maligned with reliability concerns but meticulously maintained ones have to be great to have so long as you dont care about fuel economy.

This is the correct take. Except that they are already cool. :)

Looks like it is the breathed-on-from-factory “ R3" model, and those are the forged 19in wheels that that package came with:

Agreed, I think they are cool. But I think A LOT of things are cool that arent generally accepted as cool lol. I havent seen much of a cult following behind the Rx8 like there is for the Rx7.

I wonder if that is because they were marketed as the everyman’s sports car, whereas the last RX-7 was very much an enthusiast performance  sports car.  In trying to court the daily market, they missed that mark and also missed out at aiming for the performance car market.
