The RX8 died ~7 years ago. It's not happening.

RIP

This means that other than the 86, there is now almost nothing left that resembles why I fell in love with Japanese cars in the first place, or cars in general...

Well, there are.... It's just that you have to find them on Autotrader or Craigslist now....

In the eyes of most enthusiasts, boring

In the eyes of a hybrid driver - sure, exciting.

Well, HCCI would be a pretty big advantage for freeway mpg, which would allow larger engines to be used. It also means you can run leaner at high load without overheating the cat, which means enthusiasts won't need to retune their ECU to squeeze that last bit of power out.

It would be nice to have a 2.5L NA engine instead of a laggy 1.5L turbo for example, but I feel like Mazda isn't going to use this to bring back high revving 6 cylinder engines. IMO, that would be the dream.

Of course there will always be used cars.

It was just more of a sad comment that out of all the cars I think are cool, an increasing number of them are rapidly approaching the category of "classic cars", which makes me feel like some old fart rambling on about how great things were back in the day...

Now get off my lawn.

Now, how does this make you feel?

I've noticed several cars with the triple exhaust pipe of late.

Any advantage to this or is it just show?

Depends on if there are just three tips all connected to the same muffler or not. Some are just for looks and some serve a function. Good read on why the Civic has it here: http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars...ree-tailpipes/

Depends upon the car, as others have said. In the case of the Type R, the third pipe acts as a resonator to limit highway drone while still having a louder exhaust, but not needing a multi-mode muffler to do it.

ETA: Oh hey, I said exactly what Tcoat did. Well shit.

It seems nice for a FWD other than the garish styling. If I was spending my own money I would probably rather have a WRX, although neither of them really get my heart pumping.

It makes me feel nauseous, lol.
