Wankels & *******: Cars You Must Drive

So I was on Amazon looking around, and guess what I found:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FQFNUA

It's just a short clip, you have to pay to get the whole episode, but it's hilarious when the guy, Alonzo, says:
"This is one of the fastest production cars ever made. It's even faster than it looks."

"We're not gonna get into how this thing works, all you need to know, is that we're talking about a small engine that is incredibly smooth, and incredibly powerful."

He's referencing the 2009 Mazda RX-8 R3, and boy does it look screaming hot. Just thought I'd share - it made me feel freaking *** proud!

Don't pay for this. It's a horrible, horrible bit on the 8. The host is completely clueless. Do a search and you'll see talk about it when it aired.

I didn't pay for the full episode, but the short bit it did have was hilarious - they talked the 8 up like a super car!

Is it just me, or does this video just reinforce how much lamer the '09 RX-8 looks than the '04-'08? Ugh.
