A good chunk of these cars are Grand Tourers and SUVs, so no surprise here. They are more about comfort, luxury and a bit of straight-line and less about cornering.
And some are just family cars. I have driven the new Mazda 6 GT. Yep, definitely not made for handling. And the stock tires suck.
... which is another variable. For instance, RX-8 comes with pretty shitty OEM tires that even got called out by Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gears back in 04. Put on some RE-71R and there will be a pretty big improvement. I doubt a Prius will benefit as much from them, and most Prius drivers won't bother with those tires anyway.
The only one that really got me is the new Fiata, but the difference is so small(0.1s) that it could just be driver error.
