When I read this in the magazine, I had a hard time understanding the cars they chose. I can understand a comparison between the G35 and the RX-8, but why did they throw a Mustang in there? The backseat is nowhere close to usable, and it just isn't the same type of car. An SVT Cobra really isn't meant to be civil in any way, unlike the other two.
I think they should have used the G35, the RX-8, and find a 3 series BMW for kicks.

And probably wouldn't have done too well if that was the determining factor.

The RX-8 didn't win the competition based on its engine.

It won because it's light and stiff.
When people say things like:
"so they thought to throw in a V8 just to show that a rotor is better and to show us that if you want a real car, to buy a rotary"
and
"see ******* Rotaries kick ******* *** **** that. No car can compare to the Renesis. What!! I love em "
it's completely pointless because the car would have done even better with some midrange torque, which you can't get from an N/A rotary.
