Default The RSX is One of One

I was thinking about this today, if my Rsx ever got stolen (I had dream last night it did), what car would I get? A G35? But then I know for a fact from friends that car is a gas guzzler. So I started thinking...

What car looks as good as the RSX, is as quick, and puts out better gas mileage? I can't think of anything. With the rising gas prices, it's really nice to see the savings even when I use mid-grade.

A supra would be awesome. Every time I go to my local drag strip Gary White is there in one of his Supra's. Its depressing watching either one of them launch.

A Supra's like crack to me. I drove my cousins a few years ago when he still had it, and ever since then I've wanted one. To this day the only thing that has been as fun to drive was my friends 650awhp STI. A Supra is like an untamed beast.

if the supra's fuel efficient than yes its better, but I dont think it is.

s2000 is close, doesn't look as slick as the rsx and is mad small.

The white one gets like low twenty's I think, and runs low 6's in the 1/8th on just the turbo. the Copper one... well I dont think that matters, cause it ran a 7.71@ 185 not to long ago.

Why does it need to put out better gas mileage?

I say Supra, WRX, 300zx, s2000, rx7, mr2, 3000gt, and tons of German cars.

Why does it need to get better gas mileage than an RSX is my question. Not a very fair comparison...
