We know it's hard waiting for the all-new Mazda RX-8 to launch. Really hard. And that cover story in this month's Road & Track probably isn't helping. Now to make matters worse, here we are suggesting you whet your appetite even further by tuning into The History Channel's Modern Marvels. But we know you would kick yourself if you missed it, since they're doing a short segment on the origin of the legendary rotary engine. So watch, enjoy, and try to remember that good things come to those who wait. Or in this case, one particularly great thing.



The History Channel's Modern Marvels

Air Date: March 19 at 10pm est/pst (9pm cst/8pm mst).

 

tru that...hope i remember...sounds good

 

So are they shooting for tossing out a 2004 model year or are they shooting for 2004 RX-8 late 2003, early 2004?

 

I thought it was 2003, same as the 350Z.

 

that's what I thought too, but they are saying 2004 in the e-mail that was sent out.

 

Man, that would suck if it didn't come out until 2004. One of the things that pissed me off about the new retro T-bird is that it took like 5 years to come out. By now its almost old news. Not that I am comparing the Rx-8 to the T-bird (I think the T-bird is ugly) I just feel like I am being teased reading about a great car like the RX-8 and not being able to experience it. I hope they produce a lot of them.

 

As I understand the rx-8 will be introduced first in europe and australia then we will get it in the spring of 2003 as a 2004 model, in my garage is a 1st gen that was manufactured in march of '78 Thats spring to the japs.

 

so what was the show like?? any good?

 

I didn't watch it. I watched Bloodsport instead.

 

i had to pick up a friend at JFK and missed it. when i got home i checked to see if they were gonna give later, and they did 2-3 am. saw the first 5 mins, like 5 mins towards the middle and missed the end.lol



bloodsport, thats his best movie other than no retreat, no surrender 1.
