All they complained about was the fuel consumption for almost ALL of the cars didn't they!!!..
WHAT is up with these reporters, or so called Experts...
These are performance cars not bloody a Prius (puss bag) or Civic or Charade!! for Pete's sake!...
You NEVER hear them complain about MPG with a Porsche or M3 or a Merc, or a Rolls that weights 10,000 lbs!!...
If a consumer is looking for a Sports Coupe that has economy then they will never find one, the two do not go together, so WHY do they Talk about it?

Who was driving the RX-8? Unless they were hauling bags of sand. 0-100km/h at 8.75sec is a bit slow. In any other comparison I have read, the RX-8 is is in the high 5's or low 6's for 0-60mi/hr. Given that 60mi=96.6km, a number in the high 6's or low 7's would likely be more accurate. 8.75sec is way outside this range indicating that the guys testing the car probably never made it to the red line.

with them rating the charger higher than anything else on the list, I somehow doubt their expertise. Any other legit muscle car comparison has put the camaro & stang leaps and bounds ahead of the dodge, and Id imagine the other 3 cars outperform it too

The problem with these tests are the fact that they are subjective and not done with any kind of real controls. That's why you see such a variation of times and reviews. One person says X car rocks, the other says it sucks.
Experts or not...complaining that these cars get poor fuel milage is just retarded. It's a sports car! Like the old saying goes...if you're concerned about how much gas this car burns you cannot afford to buy it in the first place.
