First off, the Miata is the best selling sports car out there, its not a car for some of us, but we dont keep Mazda afloat, people who buy cars do, and thats what they are buying. Mazda cant "keep the car around in low numbers", its not economical, you know what costs to tool a factory to make cars??? Never mind to RE-TOOL it to make the car different from year to year, you want to blame anyone-blame the people of the world for not buying enough of them, dont say Mazda is shitty for not making them anymore. You want them to keep it around in low numbers? Then it will have to REALLY improve on performance, then it will be in the $70,000+ range because it will have to be hand made like a Viper or a NSX because to tool a factory to make them wont be worthwhile, then good luck finding someone to buy a Mazda for that price. As for the pricing, they said the 350Z was going to be $25000, and look what Car + Driver tested one at this month- $34, 619!!! You can expect the same **** for the RX-8. Sure it will base at $27,000 or so, but if you want one with the right **** in it, it will be around $34,000, add tax to that, and you are damm near $40,000, add interest on the loan for the duration of the time you are paying the car off, a alarm, and some nitty gritty, and you my friend have a nice $47,000 Mazda on your hands. And dont forget you still have to pay insurance on it, never mind modifications.
