However, each individual score is 8, 8, 8,8 during print, which comes to 32.

This is not the 1st time this has happened.
This has been posted several times before, maybe by you, and at least once by me. This has come up many times in the 20 or so years I have read C&D and the response is always the same, they may or may not respond this time as they seem to only respond to it every 4-5 times it is an issue. Not sure why they don't have a short explanation with each table as it often produces this same confusion.

indeed, maybe they should also put an note "Car doesnt have to be running in order to win the competition"
So we could be less confused.

Wow...Lexus did a much better job on their new IS350 with 0-60 and 1/4 mile times! I always thought the IS300 was too underpowered for such a good looking sports type car and now Lexus is the fastest in this C&D test!

My girlfriend wants me to buy her the RX350 but maybe I can convince her to get the IS350 instead!

Wow, RX350?! You must be waaay ahead of the game . It's RX330 or RX400h, just giving you a hard time. Post some pics of the C55!
