Not bad, plus they had some nice FD footage. 
0-60 in 5.9. Not bad.
That hostess is super annoying.
Edit: There's a rerun tomorrow (Sunday) at 12:30 pm on TNN for those of you that missed it today.

My MPEG convert is done and I'm uploading it to my webserver now.
The first 10-15 secs or so of intro are cut off but all the RX-8 footage is intact.
edit: here it is!
MPEG Clip of RX-8 on C&D TV
720kbps MPEG-1 CBR
112kbps Stereo Audio
File Size: 23,177KB
Mirror 1
Mirror 2 -- thanks CraziFuzzy!
Right click and hit Save Target As...
Please mirror this, as I will remove the file after today due to bandwidth restraints.

1 Lack of low end torque
2 Needs more horsepower.

Also, I prefer a drivng style of sticking it in the corners, rather than trying to break the tires loose and power slide through them (as the C&D drivers were attempting in the footage). Power sliding on asphalt seems to be inefficient and time consuming. I think the RX-8 will excel at sticking itself in the apex and gluing itself to the pavement, in part, due to the lack of "peaky" torque.
Just my opinion... I'm not worried about maximum torque.

I have some running around to do, but I will later capture a full-res version for everyone's archives... This should at least get everyone who can't watch the show, C&D's opinion on what we already know as being an awesome car...
