From my perspective, this ought to create a rush like the original '7! Of course, I'm probably way off base. But geez, its about 10G less than I was planning to spend!:D :D :D

I got a call from my Mazda guy today, there will be a Mazdaspeed Protege on the lot on Tuesday for me to take for a drive.
Right after I spin some tread off the tires, I'm plunken down a grand to reserve a Black GT RX-8
Dang thats a sweet price, :D :D
Smiling all the way to the bank.

Wow. :D $36795.
I mean, wow.
Frankly, I never thought it would actually be that low, despite crossing my fingers for about 8 months. (They've since turned black and fallen off.)
Colour me shocked.
Its strange. These past few months, I pretty much decided that I would settle on a Mazdaspeed Protege. In fact, I was going to pick one up at the end of this month. Now I'm conflicted.
The RX-8 is a screaming bargain. So is the Protege. Gas and monthly payments will cost more in the RX-8. But its RWD, well balanced, and just plain cool.
Well, 8 more days and I'll get to see one at the autoshow (it will be the red one from Detroit by the way, I saw it on the news).
Hmmmmm..... what to do.......
At least its a nice problem to have.

hey Grimmy, if you go with the Mazdaspeed Protege you might have enough cash left over to get some new fingers:D :p
if canada is only getting 700, you better decide soon or you might be left with getting an rx-8 with the automatic

The gov't (both sides) have requirements, including duties and terifs.
Also, your mazda dealers in the USA will probably not honor the warantees.
So be CAREFUL

I wandered over to the Canada forum just to say this...

Beg/borrow/st.. I mean finance that extra cost. Skip lunches, defer a vacation, run a 'buy me *****' type of scam etc to get extra money. Think of how envious you will be of every RX-8 you see on the road driving past your new Protege - you have been more enamoured of the RX-8 than most people on this site - the passion is so obviously there. Eventually (6 months from now
) you won't be able to take it any more and you will trade in the Protege (at a $5k loss) for a new RX-8 anyway. Minimise your losses and get what you want from the start. At least that's how my thought process goes and what I would do...
Sincerely
Pelucidor

If there is one thing I've learned during my car hunt, that no matter how limited a vehicle is, there are always ways of tracking one down. For example, only 250 2003 Mazdaspeeds are coming to Canada. I've tracked down 8 that aren't spoken for.
Also there is another run of blue & black Mazdaspeed Protege's arriving later this summer, does your 250 count include these???

Yeah, I was talking Protege's.
Canada gets 250 orange MSP's (no black ones are coming to this side of the border). Of those 250, I have had no problem tracking down a handful that weren't spoken for.
Later this year (late summer/early fall) we will be getting another run of titanium grey (the same colour code as the RX-8 titanium colour, incidently) and metallic yellow (as on the 2002 Miata SE).
Out of curiousity, where is this dealership that got the unspoken-for Mazdaspeed Protege? I'm curious if it is one I know about or not.

I was slated to test the car, but the dealer decided not to let it out because of the shitty frozen roads we have right now.
I did have 1st dibs on it, but because of the lack of trunk room, no sunroof, no cruise control and shitty bolstered seats, I picked NO SALE.
So its RX8 all the way, and if that sucks, (which I doubt) I am getting a WRX, which by the way I have test driven........
