Not a bad result for the Oldest Sports Coupe on the market..

 

Dodge Charger - "Handles pretty well".

Are they out of their minds?

 

Challenger, not Charger.

 

My mistake, Challenger of course... *face in palm*

 

Challenger was worst in fuel mileage in the group? Finally something worse than the Wankel!

 

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?

 

yes we still exist!

 

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.

 

Are these numbers legit?

RX-8 370Z Challenger Camaro Genesis Mustang
Base Price ($) 41,995 39,998 45,995 31,595 24,495 36,999
Price as tested ($) 41,995 43,998 49,145 36,570 27,495 43,279

 

They can't be...

 

As a sidenote, Charger is such an appropriate name. It is pretty good at charging, but that's about it.

 

Canadian dollars no?

 

could be...even so, a base price higher then all except the challenger

 

one word : ......................automatic !

 

It was an R3

Web Shows

 

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

 

Pretty cool how they described the R3.

 

Their drivers must be as good as the Edmunds drivers.

 

they should have tested the V8 camaro and V6 genesis and idk how they could put the challenger so up in their list

 

**** Quebec

 

This type of "journalism" is the same quality as the "advice" featured on yahoo. Just belongs in teen magazines for the purpose of selling mostly ads.

 

8.75 seconds to 0-60 if you don't even launch the car or modulate the throttle in any way..

shame shame

 

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.
