Why aren't they valid? All three are cars built for reliability, RWD fun, and handling with what are perceived as weak engines, they fill the exact same market despite whatever reasons you disqualified them (I didn't consider them very much either, hate convertibles, would rather a 7 over an 8 for rotary goodness)
Media and customer response are generally positive but there are many who don't get it, just go to any story about them and read the comments saying how it's slow and junk). It's very easy to wear rose colored glasses around here while there are dozens collecting snow up North and people not willing to put up with the wait and unaccommodating dealers in other areas.
