not much info on it yet, if they've covered the front up it could possibly mean they already have a design for that test mule!  wonder how it looks

If you drive them hard, they are good. If you baby them, they suck.

I believe there is an issue on the RX-8 with oil consumption. At one point Mazda was recalling all RX-8's and doing some tests. Engines were replaced under warranty.

I know rx-7's tended to burn alot of oil- Thought they fixed it with the 8
As if that car wasn't enough of a pig on gas, its also a pig on oil

I heard from techs and reading online that people who drove their cars hard had no problems. Only those who babied the cars would fail the compression tests.
