No test drives this year
Spoke to the sales rep at Bank St. last night when I picked up my Miata from its service department.
He drives an 87 RX7 and is pretty knowledgable about the 8.
The dealership is getting 7 - RX8s at the end of this month or next, but they will sit in the show room. You want one, you put your money down and get a test drive. If you don't like the car after the test drive you get your money back and the next person to put their money down gets the car. Even the sales reps can't take them for a spin.
Good thing I have to wait till next year to get one anyway.

That's not too bad at least they will let you test drive with money down. From the title I thought no driving!
At least they will have one in the showroom! If you find out they have one in the room let me know.
I'm pretty much set on getting one, I just want to see one in person. If I like, I buy!

We all seem to go to the same dealers yet get a different story each time. Just came back from Performance (getting my mother's car serviced next door) and they are receiving 5 cars but they have money down for only 2 of them. It's the same at the one in Hull. So there will most likely be cars in the showroom come August. They also say money down before test drive.

At this point in the RX-8 lifecycle, money down is reasonable. I only hope the engine and brakes have had a chance to break-in before my chance to test arrives.
