Is there even a thing called an MX8? I have seen the MX5 which is the Mazda Miata but an MX8?

there is no mx8, the rx8 is the top of the line mazda...the miata is now called the mx5, maybe you got confused with that...

And one is a Rotary-engined car, while the other is straight-4 i think.

Get the Miata. It's cheaper, more gas efficient, and u can go topless.

The main difference? The rx8 exists and the mx8 doesn't.
On a more serious note, I think your question has been answered above.

RX8
Rotary engine
4 seater
suicide doors
faster

mx5(miata)
4 cylinders
2 seater
drop top roadster
slower
