Other Choices:

Among rear-drive coupes with 200 to 300 horsepower, the competition for the Mazda RX-8 is largely made up of musclecars. The Ford Mustang has four-passenger seating, a V-8 option, manual and automatic transmissions, and a convertible option. The Dodge Challenger is new for 2008, and in 2009, a V-6 version will become available. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe arrives early in 2009 as a 2010 model; it will use a high-powered V-6 and a rear-drive chassis.
