well, RX-8 is mostly driven around and owned by teenage girls (or g@ys with weird hairstyles) in foreign countries (pakistan is always an exception in such cases (H)), so yea, figure it out yourselves if its a straight car or otherwise..
As a matter of fact, since the demise of RX-7, mazda doesnt have any car in its line-up which could truly be considered a dude's car.. Even the mazda 3 mps (or mazdaspeed 3 as its known in North America), is mostly driven by chicks here (despite it being quite a poten car)..
So given the choice between these two, i'll go with the Honda...
