I'm still confused...

I'm yet to see conclusive evidence that the s200 is really even that great..
Perhaps its displacement is indicative of why the MX-5 won.

It seems like everyone is bitaching about the low-end torque. Maybe that's why we're #3 on the top 10 list.
Interesting... thats what I was wondering... why is the torque pretty low and what can you do to improve it...

Sorry this probably doesnt go here... where would general questions go.. Im new, just got my S two weeks ago... :-)

Notice how the S2000 was the only sportscar or convertible that scored a 9.0 in the performance category. Yahhh!

its messed up, i took the average of the scores in each category (for the Z i divided by 4, not 5, even though their is no rating on safety), and the s2000 had...

A HIGHER AVERAGE SCORE!!!!! and it was by a good amount.

i didn't even bother with the miata, since my suspicions were confirmed. the truth is the s2000 is the best car in the category, but mainstream media once again comes through with the misleading articles that are journalistic toilet paper.

It is interesting that the S2000 scored better overall in the 5 ranked categories than the Miata yet earned an overall lower rank. I just don't get it.

my guess is that some of the categories are weighted more than others, though I didn't read the whole artilce
