I seriously see a lack of those who think that the 300 is the harder and most expensive to repair due to its rareness. Secondly, that thing is a freakin boat. A boat on wheels. Slow, heavy and yes while it has power, it is really just as unreliable as an RX8, but with twice the weight. Even handles like crap. Never understood why people like these cars aside from looks or just loyalty to a brand.

If i was making this decision, the RX8 would be a clear choice. Good speed, better reliability, better repair-ability and even better handling. Lots of other pros-cons to consider though (like anything) but if i used this as i would (track star) the RX8 seems to be the clearer winner.
