I'm ready to see one in person now. I would turn in my C230K for one. I wouldn't even have gotten the C230K if the RX8 was out when I needed to buy a new daily.

Hey Kev,



how would you like to beat Rikki Tikki Tavi to the punch and have the first boosted RX-8 in the States?

my friend works at a mazda dealer and he got a ride last night from the rx8 rep that is going around to all the dealers.



he said it was an amazing car overall.

fast to him cause he drives a 330ci, but he said it was smooth and really comfortable ect.

I wanted one. Then I heard they are working on a Mazdaspeed RX-8. So now I will wait. I am disapointed how long it is taking to filter these cars out to the dealers. I was told by my local dealership (actually a salesman that got my phone # and name from the Mazda-Rev-it-up school) that the RX-8 would be there by the end of June. There still are not any there.



I went ahead and bought a CooperS to tool around in for the next 2 years. I figure it will take that long for Mazdaspeed to get their crap together with the RX-8.



If they do forced induction on the Mazdaspeed RX-8 I am all over it.



I like the RX-8 a lot it is definatly a head turner it looks like nothing else on the road and I like that a lot.



I keep mixing up the new 350Z and the Infinity and the Lexus up with each other. Its another batch of cars that look like each other. Thats why I like the body on the 8 it is bold and will stand apart from the others.

The 350Z and the lexus are the same thing as far as the Mazdaspeed RX-8 who know, could be anytime, could never, but my guess would be before the 2 year mark.

What Lexus?



The G35 Coupe and the 350z are the for all intensive purposes the same car, although I would pick the G35 over the Z any day!

mazda seems to have a problem with that yellow paint, it looks

like **** on the Mazda6 as well.



I didnt get to sit in the one at the Auto Show for that long, there was

a line of people waiting to get in it, but I do plan on kicking the tires

on one locally
