Awsome!! Thanks for sharing. This is why so many continue to smile each time they drive the 8, even after several years of ownership.

RX8 = One of the best, if not the best, sports car values of all time.

Seriously, you can pick up a used RX8 with a 8 year/100k mile rotary warranty for half the price of so called sports cars that can't handle as well, aren't as well thought out, and in some cases, can't keep up. NOTHING at this price point handles as well or draws as many stares. NOTHING at this price point has such a brilliant chassis. NOTHING at this price point has such sublime steering feel. NOTHING at this price point is as unique and fantastic.

I wonder if Clarkson has one in his garage.

If he does lets hope it treats him good cause the rx8 can use some positive publicity.

^ Doubt it. He is into extravagant supercars like the Ford GT.... Lambo Gallardo and a Jaguar something.
But Jay Leno has a Shinka RX-8 along with his Cosmo.

I have a hard time picturing Leno in an rx8. Just by having one he gets a +1. I will never watch Letterman again.

Clarkson complains about the RX-8 wet handling. You'd think he'd know enough about cars to realize that it's THE TIRES, not the car....

Clarkson did say it was the tires that made it skittish in the wet on the 2003 review.
