Jeremy Clarkson seem to like the rx8 when he did a review in Top Gear, actually stated the rx8 was the best drivers car for that year when he reviewed it...I don't think he would say the same on a hyundai

s2k's rev high, actually pretty fast. quite fast if u know how to drive MT.

They didn't rev slow ... you're just bias. I wasn't referring to the AT rx8. The manual is NOT slow. 60 in about 6 seconds. Torque isn't there but I think Mazda makes a better balanced car in the corners then most. It's my preference. I personally agree with Clifford as it needed a turbo. But the Rx 8 is a perfect manual in terms of feel. I like manuals in slower cars. It makes them more fun. Cars that I can get to 100 and beyond very fast. I prefer paddles as its quicker to respond when maneuvering. U like Honda's, I like Mazda's. I'd buy a miata over an S2K Too.

You feel more inertia in an open top car. Your sensations are augmented by how your senses as they receive more direct feedback. Nothing is muffled out in a open top

Those ARE the old S2Ks. They haven't introduced the new one yet.

The new mx5 I would take over a s2k in heartbeat also...dam I was even thinking about trading in my z for the new RF mx5 but the lack of power will make me miss my z. But that thing is sex as F**k. If mazda made a mazdaspeed mx5 RF at 250hp turbo than I'm in.

I like the white photoshop, looks like the nsx/s2k mash up but more modern.

Oh Im very aware of that episode. Disappointed the Genesis Coupe 13+ never ran on that show, with its common ability to make right turns it should have been a welcomed relief.

as a previous G37 owner... I absolutely hate Genesis Coupes. I feel hyundai just ripped off everything G37. Even down to the exhaust note.

edit: oh... you own a... genesis coupe... my bad lol.

why didn't you go G37? completely curious, not trying to talk sh*t

Not everything. A good example of that is its design has a common trait of cars made in the 21st Century such as working Navigation, phone interface, real leather, more power and torque and warranty that goes and goes. No, not everything thank goodness.

I tried it, honestly felt under powered, and the cabin and tech were from 2007 in 2013...and way too much coin for that. it was comfy though.

Edit, I said 2007, sorry, tech from '03.

kenchan · 02-03-2017, 07:17 PM

k, no longer a fan... lol

WTF is with its face?

That's the S660 kei car from Japan, not a rendering of the new s2k so don't worry

They even took the full photo and didn't bother to edit it lol

Not to go OT but you should make a thread here on this forum for your Genesis
