I was planning to go to the autoshow in Toronto only to view the RX-8 close by and possibly sit in it.

Any comments on the Mazda stand and whether it is worthwhile going to see just the RX-8.

Are there any informed personnel that can answer technical questions ?

Any comments from early visitors to the car show are appreciated

 

Mazda Canada told me that it would not be possible to sit in the RX8 or even get close enough to touch it.

For this reasons, and time schedule problems, I chose not to go to the show.

If I could have sat in car I would have rescheduled, and gone.

DAMN Mazda - Canada

 

Is the auto show open on sunday feb. 16 till 10 pm?

 

I just got back from the show about ten minutes ago.

The people there don't know anything at all other than the posted news release.

The car definitly looks nice but there really isn't anything special going on. You definitly can't touch the car in any way.

The overall show is great, and the mazda exhibit is nice, but you won't find any more info there than you don't already have.

The Mutant Blue looks damn good in person though

 

Hey everyone,

I'm new here (first post). I've ordered my RX-8 over a month ago at my local dealer -- one of the conditions of the sale was to be able to "inspect" it at the autoshow ......i made special arrangements with the mazda folks on the last day of the show (before moving the cars out).... even then, it was like pulling teeth but they finally take a peek inside and even sit inside it. I must say that the interior was just as impressive as the exterior (space compares to a BMW 3series). Even the trunk space was very generous. I sat in the back seat with ample space around me...the only thing that I found disappointing was the quality of the leather (this could partially be due to the fact that this was a pre-production model). Anyways, I'm on board for going forward with the deal (now I just need info on lease rates)....

 

I am so-o-o-o jealous!

 

Me too.. I want to be as hung as Ron Jeremy also.. :p
