The RX8 was small-ish, handled well, and was underpowered.

For similar out-the-door money you could have a 274hp Hyundai Genesis Coupe or a 305hp Mustang V6 or a 312hp Camaro V6.......200hp just doesn't cut it.

In a recent comparison, the Mustang V6 was faster than the FR-S in every way: higher lateral Gs, faster slalom, faster figure eight, shorter braking distances, faster acceleration to every speed, faster road-course track time, etc, etc.

Loving the FR-S is weighing the subjective 'feel' over the objective measurements. Kinda like a Porsche.

When they add a STi turbo version, you can bet it will win lots of praise
