Motor Magazine revisited

Latest Motor magazine has a couple of articles on the
RX8. A 220 kW turbo version as a feature.

And a comparo between the RX8, an Alfa something and a Golf Something (the R32?). I had a quick flick through both articles, and this time the RX8 got a good writeup.

The Golf is around 6.2 to 6.4 for 0/100 kph. And it is around the high 14s for the standing 400. So, if it is slower, it is not by much.

Until it hits a corner that is ...

I thought it was a good read. Particularly after you guys bagged him so much the former editor was very flattering of the RX-8. Great stories, but to be honest I'm not sure about the idea of doing features on aftermarket tuners all the time. There's enough magazine's around to do that.
