RX-8 Production numbers, awards, Comparison

1)2004-2012 RX-8--192,094.
The last rotary engine currently built June 21st, 2012.


2) Awards, yes it is old but still cool to read.
As of October 2006 the RX-8 has won at least 37 international motoring awards including 2003 International Engine of the Year, the 2003 Japanese Car of the Year, Australia's Wheels magazine's Car of the Year for 2003, the 2004 Singapore Car of the Year, the 2004 U.S. Best Sports Car, and several UK Best Car Awards. It was named on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 2004, 2005, and 2006. It also took home 1st place on Car and Driver's "Four of a Kind" comparison test. 2010 RX-8 R3 edition placed 3rd out of 7 on Car and Driver's The Best-Handling Car in America for Less Than $100,000


3) 1964-1974 GTO--515,797
4) 1970-1974 'Cuda--113,379
5) 1968-1970 Charger--232,278
6) 1964-1972 Chevelle--4,099,716
7) 1964-1973 Mustang--2,977,510

8) Don't sell your RX-8, who knows what they will be worth.

Likely no more than a 1st/2nd Gen RX7 who received similar accolades. Even a good unmolested 3rd Gen (FD) RX7 goes for 1/3 or less than it's new price.
