So.. I noticed today that there's no such thing as a 2006 RX8. What gives?

RX-8



Introduced in 2004, the Mazda RX-8 remains the only sports car to feature seating for four full-size adults, and the only mass-produced vehicle in the world to offer the high-revving RENESIS rotary engine . The 2006 RX-8 will be a late launch – after the first of the year - and will see a number of changes and updates. Specific product information will be available closer to launch.

Gimme the Forced Induction!

there will be a 06 rx8 , the auto will have a 6 speed instead of a 4 speed, mazda is working out the lack of power issue with the car before they relese it and it will have many minor changes that will make a rather large impression on the buyer is what i have been told by mazda north america when i was at mazda tech school for the mx5 and mz5

Boost?

the automatic gets a 6 speed and hp is up. thats all i really know

werd! I might hold off on buying 'for awhile then! I'd love a higer HP 8. I had basically decided to go with the Z, but hmmm...

one of our writers used to work for nissan, the Z is a peice of junk, everything is $1000...

come on...

there was some crazy concept car in this months road and track. i forget the name, it started with an S, was the hydrogen Renesis, and looked so awesome!! said it may replace the rx-8.

I much rather have a Z. My brother has one and it is a hell of alot nicer then the 8 hands down.

z is ugly as hell hands down and it is a crap car

i have only driven one and i LOVED IT....... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



also got to beat on it and it was a track model

mazda is working on the lack of power issue with the 8 wich besides the fire that took the plant out in japan is one of the many reasons this car is late arival. also mazda has a turbo hydrogen rx8 but they cannot get enuff fuel onbord the car to make it more then 90 to 110 miles. there for dont expext the hydrogen car anytime soon.



was told this by mazda north america when at a tech session.

waitin on the eight to see what the improvements will be...

hence why ive yet to pull the trigger on the mazdaspeed6..

i like the 8. it's a cool idea. i hope they keep this one around.

whats wrong with the mazdaspeed6?
