RX-8 3rd in MSN 'Top Sports Cars'

RX-8 is 3rd in MSN 'Top Sports Cars'. Not suprisingly, NOT a review, not even anything to do with performance or sales, but rather: after the 350Z and Ford Mustang, the RX-8 resulted in ***most monthy [ web] visits*** for doing vehicle research.

However, the story title is alluringly, "Top Sports Cars on MSN Autos " LOL , good 'ol MSN!

this is not to flame you, but who the hell cares about MSN reviews? Does anyone researching sports cars actually use MSN to make their decision on which car to buy? I hate sites like that... so worthless... :o

Thanks Spin9K. I am still reading everything I can get my hands on regarding the RX-8 so I really appreciate ALL posts regarding magazine articles.

Two things that interested me about the MSN article: The Rx-8 is the FIRST car pictured in the article and they also pointed out that the RX8 went from 10th place to 3rd place in just one month. Obviously reader interest is growing. I'll be interested to see if it goes up or down next month.

Did you see the RX-8 in Popular Science "Best of What's New - Top 100 Technological Innovations of 2003" (Dec 2003)? Very cool.

You must know I agree with you?

Still, you and I may not care, but Mazda likely hopes some of 'them' note the story closely. I'm for converting as many of 'them' to our type of cars as possible. Everyone has to start somewhere.

And Rx-Appreci-8, yes, that growing interest is definitly a good thing. Hopefully some of it will rub of and drive 'them' go to a dealer and drive one. Maybe just reduce the glut of beautiful RX-8s on some dealer's lots too!

I just sent them a note pointing out that the Honda's "amazing" 120 hp/liter pales next to the RX-8's 183 hp/liter!

Actually I'd bet there are few people with Internet connections who wouldn't use MSN to compare different sports cars. Is there a faster way to instantly get a ton of info on so many different cars?
