It was all so interesting until you get to the end:

"The new MX-8 will go on sale globally on the 1st of April. Its main competitors will be Gordon Murray T-25 and the leaf-sucking Nissan Leaf."

Obviously an April Fools joke.

Hahaha, i was particularly excited about the Skyactive Cylinder Deactivation... :shakes head:

"Most notable of which is Skyactiv Cylinder Deactivation, which shuts down 2 of the 4 cylinders in each brake caliper at light load to save your pedal effort."

Yes ...even though we all knew it was April fools(as we were reading it) we liked how it included all the things we've read over the years. I love too throw Options out there and discuss them. Would it get over 30mpg? How much would the balance of the car change ..etc...

I don't care how much MPG this theoretical car gets. I wouldn't touch a car with this feature.

I know I'm signing my own death warrant on the forums but I would by a MX-8 with the Mazda Speed 3 engine and Turbo in it. I wish it was not a April fool’s joke.

you guys do realize we can just do this ourselves...

step one, buy 2.3 turbo from MS3... or wait until a new turbo four with "skyactiv" is released.

Step two, put it in your rx8. bingo Mx-8
