Dont know if anyone has actually picked up a 2007 yet but they are out now. Sansone Mazda in Jersey got their first one in today. A 2007 Galaxy Gray GT with red/black leather.

 

Haven't looked yet. I'll take a peak when I pass our nearby dealership.

 

Wow. That's cool. What was the verdict on Shinka for 2007? Special colors for 07?

EDIT: Answer my own question. Duh...

can't wait to see the new blue in person

 

yea i like the stormy blue color a lot.

 

6 cd changers are standard now....great....I could use one

 

Hello all,

I've been tracking this board very carefully and wanted to get your "assessment." Compared with the previous model years, do you think the 2007 MY will have most of the issues worked out, i.e., all of the TSB's and series of flash issues that the previous MY's had to deal with?

Thanks.

 

Don't think the 07 will be significantly different from the earlier models. It will just ship with the latest flash. That's all. Mechanically, especially engine wise, they all will be the same.

 

No! The 07's come with 266hp m/t and 240 hp a/t. Which is why im mad I got my o6 a week ago.

 

this is Stormy Blue Mica on the new '07 Verisa:



omg that's THE COLOR I'VE ALWAYS WANTED on the 8!!!!!!!

 

Uhhh.....what?

 

i call shenanigans.

 

Don't buy it. The car will instantly explode if you try and drive in a straight line.

 

jeezus. '07's already?

 

Come back when you get some real facts thanks.

 

Dont know why you are so mad about your 06 or who gave you that ridiculous information but the hp hasn't changed from 2006. The m/t remains at 232 and the auto at 212.

 

I stopped last week at a VW dealer that is also a Mazda dealer. The didn't have a single RX-8 on the lot and didn't plan on getting one anytime soon. They said they sold their last 3 '05s the week before and haven't bothered ordering any '06s or '07s. I found that shocking and didn't think a dealer could even get away with not bothering to carry a particular car from a brand they represent. I guess when it takes them 2 years to sell a new car they have a legit reason though.

 

RX-8? More like RX-Poop.

 

 

Well, he sold his car and now is busy pooping on the 8... who cares?

 

Maybe people from your area just can't afford it...

 

How's dat domestic pos...

 

you are kidding, right?

 

Same exact story with the dealer near my house and it's a Mazda ONLY dealership (granted, it's not a huge lot or anything).

 

That's the same with some of the NJ dealers. They only ordered one RX-8 most of the time usually a Sport Auto and once they sell that car they don't order any more bec. according to them the car doesn't sell. If you want an 8 from a dealer who doesn't carry they can always call up another dealer and get one for you. Besides dealers have to pay interest on the cars if they are not sold. No point keeping a car on the lot and keep having to pay interest on the car. Soon the car would have to be sold with a huge discount and for a huge loss for the dealer. Best time to get a car is when the car has been sitting on the lot for a long time (months) and the dealer is paying huge amount of interest on the car and are just waiting to get rid of it.
