RX-8 runner-up best sports car value
The March 2005 issue of Money magazine lists the RX-8 as the runner-up best sports car value. It also said it should retain 42% of its value after 5 years. The Corvette took first place honors. No mention of the judging criteria used, so their ranking is obviously quite subjective. But hey, I always like to see our car get kudos in print.

Also note that there was very few vehicles in any of the categories that had 42% value after 5 yrs. I'm not sure how they know what the 8 will be worth, but I figure they are going on RX-7 history. With the rotary, there is no reason to think the 8 would be any different.

The 2nd place finish and the 42% retained value is literally the only RX-8-specific information in the article. Only cars that received first place finishes received any serious verbiage.
Thanks Cap.

This is the CNN site's teaser. It typically has a lot less content than the print articles, but its here if you want to see it. The only thing it says about the 8 (on the sports car page, obviously):
...so don't go there expecting anything more.
