My personal biases show here being someone that drives almost exclusively European cars. There is nothing I hate more than under lighting and flame kits on exhausts and the RX-8 fall smack dab into that category. see full Mazda RX-8 review

Best styling/design in the car business. Looks much better than M-B & BMW, and performs on par (or better) than their equivalent models. see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
2005 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.1L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
The Audi brand is perceived as being cool and understated beauty, and most importantly it is different enough to not be classified as an aggressive driver that cuts people off. ie. BMW see full Audi A6 / S6 / RS6 review
