Nice catch... I saw a new Mazda6 at Car and Coffee today... didn't look too bad in person, but one dualpipe on the right... I thought it was going to be dual exhaust...

at current gas price it would be much easier selling this than the RX-8, SUV, and Mazda6

Yea it was at the Mazda technical center in Irvine. There were quite a few new 09 RX-8's there as well. The Mazda 2 had the steering wheel on our side. They were probably doing driveability and emissions testing

They can almost sneak that into the US in the Rx8's trunk.
