For me the only other choice on that list is the EVO. AWD is what I am looking for. I would check out Audi as well though.

I'm surprised not many RX-8 fans here. even with low torque, i think RX-8 fits my needs better than others listed. ...usable back seat, excellent handling, light weight (relatively speaking..), higher redline (for the sound and feel)... close second would be Evo.

I think the Z looks awesome but I want AWD. I still wonder about the quality/reliability of a Mitsu though.

You guys overlooked the Volvo S60R:
2.5L turbocharged inline-5
300HP
295 ft-lbs
AWD
3,560lb curb weight
6 speed manual or 5 speed auto
$36,825
...and interior build quality that will make the STi feel like a Ford Festiva.

, but, i still bought a WRX then...I remember seeing RX-8 up close in a mktg study. only thing i'd change is the front grill/bumper to get rid of that Mazda smile.
