the rx8 release in summer 2003.

 

Well the reason y is because mazda think that the Rx8 might not sell as they predicted? Anyway according to a mazda rep form Japan he said that mazda is planning to bring back the 2nd gen engine as a turbo into the new {whcih platform goona take the rotary engine} Also they blaming that the car is not making enough power to keep with today car's. I have no idea what car they trying to line it up against which? BTW if everyone think this story is bull call the reputable mazda dealer that deal with mazda technician from Japan they should know something.

 

A Maxima makes as much power, and more torque.

New V-6 Accord makes 240 hp and more torque, can get it with a 6 speed.

300ZX/Infiniti coupe about 280HP, more torque

Damm Altima is about 240Hp now isnt it?

Even the Mazda 6s is going to be 215hp.



For someone who doesnt know the rotory they will be scared in a way to buy the RX-8, especially for only 250hp, Mazda needs at least 300hp and to keep it well under $35,000 to sell the RX-8, otherwise its going to go bye-bye.
