I've got to defend the RX8 here!!
Hairdresser? Maybe slightly, pretty though.
Cracking drive, if a little underpowered? Indubitably.
50/50 weight distribution, rear drive, turbine smooth to the 9000rpm red line, almost practical, comfortable - the bang up to date Toyota GT86 and its whatever its called Subaru stablemate don't better it in any area in my opinion. (Except maybe fuel, oil and road fund licence costs!)
Sadly missed.
