From today's The Car Connection:



RX-8 Loses Power on Paper

Separately, Mazda also will offer $500 debit cards and extended warranties to early buyers of its RX-8 four-door; the company says that it overstated the car's horsepower at 247 with manual gearbox in place, when actually it registers 238. Final emissions-system tweaks are to blame, which also cost the automatic-equipped version 10 hp, dropping it to 197. Owners seeking a repurchase will be handled on an individual basis, according to Auto Week.

2004 Mazda RX-8 by Dan Carney (7/14/2003) Rotary fans can rejoice: the Wankel's back.
