I agree with Peryn. This will go a long way towards making Mazda look good in everyone's eyes as a likeable and trustable company. They found out that the car didn't quite live up to the specs they published and offered to make it up to the owners.

Sure, they know most people won't give up their cars, but it (a) doesn't kill the RX-8 if a few months down the line some independent guy had started calling up newspapers saying "Mazda lied about the RX-8 HP numbers!" and (b) isn't really that much money.
