Some noticables:
Mazda6 - #19
Mazda3 - #17
Miata - #15
RX8 - #14
Not too bad for Mazda...
Did anyone notice that the Ford fusion, the savior of the ford company, finished at #145...
Also lots of Mercedes in the triple digit columns...

i dont know about the rankings, some are quite a bit skewed. i like the S2000 but to give it 4 starts on comfort/practicality, is there one thing practical about it? And how the celica is even on the list, let alone 13, is beyond me.

Other than that I love my car and I'm glad to see it finished so well.
