Founder, David Breslow's Vehicle Review: "Finally, a real, unadulterated four door sports car you can selfishly bring home to surprise a young family, without feeling guilty or getting yelled at by your wife".

Manufacturer’s Campaign Speech: The Mazda RX-8 takes everything you thought you knew about sports cars and turns all the rules around.

• Sports cars are supposed to be cramped, right? Wrong.
• Sports cars are supposed to make you leave your baggage
  at home, right? Wrong.
• Sports cars are supposed to make you own a "sensible"
  car, too, right? Wrong.

Mazda's rewritten the rules, and you can, too, when you place your vote for the Mazda RX-8. Vote now. Even better, go to a Mazda dealer and drive one. Then you'll understand what it's all about. If you've never driven a rotary-engined car before, there's just nothing like the smooth turbine-like power it delivers. Drive it. Convince your friends that they should drive one. Convince them to vote too. It's that good...
