Can anyone post the "Awards, Accolades, and Shoot out Wins" from their home country such as in Europe, Asia.....

That would be nice. This car seems to be winning a lot of awards. Do you think the media is giving our 8 too much credit? IMO, I think the RX-8 is one of the great innovations of automotive-dom. I believe it deserves all of its achieved awards :).

I believe Money magazine also had it as the best sports car ....even as compared to a corvette!!!
