ooh! Scan the Pocket-Rocket article for me!! :D

Side-note...that new Evo is SEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXY! If I could get one for less than the likely $40K they'll fetch, I'd go for it!

I haven't gotten mine yet, I snagged this off of NAISOC. According to most reports R&T and C&D the Evo should be around 32-36k depending on options. We probably won't know for sure until October.

True, from what I have seen on most of the local Mitsu dealer sites here, a large majority of Evo's sold for WAY over sticker.

In comparison most STi's can be had for under sticker.

If you try to get one when they first come out yeah. But if you wait a year or so then I’d be surprised if you couldn’t get one for a little over invoice. You can do under invoice on all evos from some place in SoCal, Sun coast or something like that. Be easier to buy from them and just ship it.

Regardless the earliest I’d be looking for a car is another 3-4 years.

You know somebody at corporate Mazda in Japan that spilled the beans to you?

They were still selling for over sticker in the Marietta,Ga area when I checked about a year ago.

I doubt either of us could yawn behind the wheel of either of them.

Found on another thread....

"Mazda RX-7
Our radar recently picked up some unusual activity in Hiroshima, Japan. We took a closer look and discovered that the boys at Mazda are quietly drawing up the plans for a new RX-7. That Mazda needs a new halo sports car is obvious. Sales of the RX-8 have been down, and although the MX-5 is sporty and popular, the burden of carrying the company's high-performance load is just too heavy for its narrow shoulders. The ace in Mazda's sleeve is the RX-7, a car once touted as the purest, most exhilarating sports car in the world. And the time has finally come for it to rise from its ashes.
It's still so early in the game that we know very little about this car. Our sources tell us that it has not yet been given a code name, like J61A (the Mazda6). The main challenge facing Mazda engineers is what to do with the powerplant. Reports indicate they're working around the clock to improve the output of the RX-8's 13B Renesis rotary, but a number of major obstacles still lie ahead. Some form of forced induction is probable, and could very well be an electric-motor-assist turbocharger.
This technology was first seen in the Mazda RX-8 Hybrid at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show. At low rpm, an electric motor assists the turbocharger to increase induction efficiency. At high rpm, the turbocharger operates in traditional fashion, by the exhaust gas alone. This enables lean combustion and excellent power at all engine speeds, as well as cleaner emissions at low revs. A hybrid system, like that used by Honda, has also been rumored.
The Next RX-7 will be built on the MX-5/RX-8 platform, and the styling will be based on the Kabura show car that graced our April 2006 cover. We predicted then that this was the foundation for a new RX-7--the designer himself admitted that despite the Kabura's 2.0-liter inline-4, he designed it so it could hold the 13B rotary. So the possibility of the next RX-7 becoming a 2+2 is very high. If so, what happens to the RX-8? Well, we'll know by 2010 because that's when the RX-7 is scheduled to make its debut."

At the top is a drawing of a new RX-7 with the styling based on the Kabura show car.

I personally think the grille looks better than the current one but I will admit I'm not liking the wagon thing for it!

I definitely agree with you here! That new EVO is freakin awesome looking. I even like the new Mitsubishi Lancer the the EVO is based off of.....makes the current versions look like crap.

Dude, you are bragging about the Mountaineers winning the NIT? The NIT is for flunkies who didn't do enough during the season to get into the NCAA's. Win the NCAA's, and then brag about it.

And yes, I am aware that UConn did not even make the NIT.
