Again, the RX-8 makes the 10 best along with the MX-5 from Mazda. C&D also says that more power is coming to the automatic version for 2006. This is in the January C&D.

Well done Mazda!

 

That makes 3 years in a row now. Cool.

 

excellent, C&D 10 Best list is one of the hardest list to repeat for multiple years

 

Can't wait to see the issue.

Someone gonna break out the scanner for us??

 

I hope this isn't bs.

I would have never guessed it. Not many cars make it back to back let alone 3 years in a row. The 3 series is on there often and the S2k 3 out of 4 years I believe. Not bad. Good job Mazda.

 

whats the full list? I haven't gotten my C&D yet.

 

Damn that makes me feel better about having my rx8.

 

Cripes, don't post a thread like this without telling us what all 10 were. Make with the full list already.

 

do it now

 

I enjoy driving the RX8 even more today than when I got it, but this was unexpected given that the RX8/RENESIS' hype is long gone.

 

All right....

Acura TSX - Best Sport Sedan
Audi A3 2.0T - Best Sport Compact
BMW 3 Series - Best Luxury Sport Sedan
Chevrolet Corvette - Best Performance Car
Crysler 300/300C HEMI 300C SRT-8 - Best Full Size Sedan
Ford Mustang GT - Best Muscle Car
Honda Accord - Best Family Sedan
Mazda MX-5 - Best Roadster
Mazda RX-8 - Best Sports Coupe
Porsche Boxter - Best Luxury Sports Car

 

wat other cars are u in the best muscle car category?
suprised theres no full size luxury vehicle for the ls430, s500, a8's to battle it out...

what other cars would be in the best sports coupe category as well???

did the caymen lose to the boxter?

 

notice how the little underpowered roadster beat out the almighty s2k in the roadster category

 

Go me for having one of the ten best! Oh...and yall too.

wow, I'm shocked the EVO's not on there... I keep goin back n forth between EVO or 8 that I wanna buy... I keep diggin up rumors of RX8 changes for the 07 model, maybe they're adding a new 7 or a revised renesis... Also why aren't there 06 RX8s out there, none on ebay nor Mazda's website n dealer inventory that I could find. I want a white with black cloth n spoiler no frills and all thrills lightweight 8.

 

just get a 05, 06 8's have very little changes other than automatic tranny cars getting more power and 6 speed gearbox :P

 

and the ultra cool flat remote key.

 

thanks for sharing the list

 

True. But wouldn't it be also be on the key ring. I dunno know haven't seen it yet. But then again I always seem to lose some of my socks in the dryer. Go fig.

 

could be worse... you could have your sock lost inside a valve cover like a recent BMW owner... lol

 

LOL...sweet dude. You just described my 8 exactly the way I have it
Anyways, im also very surprised the evo didnt make the list. That cars performance is hard to beat for around 30k. But hey, at least we made the list again.

 

Great cars tend to have long lives in the C&D Top 10. IIRC, the Miata spent 11 years in a row in Top 10, until the NB started to show its age.. now the NC lands Top 10 on its first couple of months of existance..

I think the 8 and the NC will be in Top 10 for a long while to come

 

will the evo is really not 30 k the msrp is 30 k but mitsu dealers are still marking them up to 35 36 k

 

You can buy an RS brand new from the dealers around me for 29k, no mark up. But to get back on topic, does anyone else take great pleasure knowing the rx-8 beat out the 350z and g35 coupe for best sports coupe. I think the two nissans are great cars, but its nice to come out ahead of them.
