Seriously?!

[TREMAiNE]

I am being "educated" on cars by a colleague of mine who isn't in any way one of us PHer's, although I am probably getting a lot more miffed than I should!

Some of the things he is saying is fair enough, however some of his opinion's are wrong. Yes, his OPINION's are wrong.

What looks better out of an RX-7 and an RX-8?

This guy is saying '8... Though I can't see how, I know opinion's are opinions but some things are just facts, the 7 trumps the 8 for styling. Simple and curvy, the 8 on the other hand is over-styled and messy.

Does anyone share this guys opinion?

(The RX7 is a lot nicer than the RX8)

An opinion cannot be wrong - that's my opinion...

[kambites]

I prefer the styling of the RX7, but I certainly wouldn't go so far as to say he's wrong to think otherwise.

The RX8 is one of the best looking cars of the last 15 years, IMO, but the RX7 is better.

Just call him a wankel and be done with it.

Really? You need to come on here to get other people to justify your opinion. Nothing wrong with preferring the RX8. Personally I think the back of the RX7 looks a mess. Like the stylist got to the b pillar and then stuck the boot of a bog standard saloon car on.

He is right though. There seem to be a lot of people who consider opinions to be fact..

The problem with the RX8 is that Mazda never allowed the person who styled the front of the car to meet the person who styled the back of the car - they both clearly didn't even get to see the other end from theirs before submitting their final design!

Whilst by definition opinion's can't be wrong, they can to an extent. For example, in my opinion the Labour Party is the best political party in the UK because I really like their logo - I am fully entitled to have this opinion but it is absolutely stupid and doesn't really count.

In this circumstance, the guys opinion is perfectly valid, however, differing from my opinon has made me convince him otherwise and that his original opinion was wrong, which he has now accept.

Which RX-7 though?

Who cares...

FD, we were specifically discussing unmodified version.

There was also a debate on whether it looks better with/without a spoiler, at which point I said without and then contradicted my statement by saying the Spirit R is the prettiest example.

Heh I do agree with you though - I prefer a clean FD to an RX8. A couple of my friends owned them and they're great looking things, if a bit cramped inside.

[Paul O]

I prefer the look of the RX8 to the RX7.

RX8 is a lovely looking thing.

[RobM77]

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, no matter how unusual I don't think I've ever met anyone who's preferred the look of the RX8 to the RX7, but there's always a first time!
