Well, my Florida dealer just called to let me know that he was involved in a conference call today, and none of the cars from any port will be released until Monday. They are still going through inspections. I have to ask -- since the California cars showed up at port much sooner than the east coast cars, shouldn't they have been inspected and shipped within a reasonable amount of time? Doesn't it seem odd that all ports will be releasing the cars at the same time? Oh well, they will be here someday.

Thanks again. And if Mazda is reading... RX-8 release team or whomever there - I'd LOVE to have a great job helping with PR on the current and future rotary models Mazda will be selling - on a regional basis - training dealers, auto show reps, etc. Although it'd take a lot to take me from 'my day job'. And - I'd *love* (I'm not alone here I'm sure) to have an inside scoop, market analysis feedback, "what if's", etc about any new offering (aka convertible) in the works that would have a rotary under the hood. ;-)
p.s. I'm glad the 4 year wait for this great new cars is about over!

A Thousand Thank You's
Thanks for the information - at least the extra time is being used well. I haven't been one of the people complaining (I don't need my car until August or September) but I am getting quietly desperate for a test drive after my spin in a G35. I just told my dealership that the first cars will be in next week - I usually give them a weekly call/e-mail to let them know RX-8 status...

Well, my dealer had this nailed! The guy responsible for the RX-8 orders at the dealership told me two weeks ago to expect a second week of July delivery. So I've been amused seeing everybody freak out over "delays". Looks like they (Mazda) knew about this date a while back. Glad they finally saw the need to respond.
Like the rest of you, I'm very excited to be so close to delivery. It's almost like Christmas in July (except I'm paying for my own present).
Thank you very much Ibfubar for passing along the good news. Hang on everybody, it's almost here!!!:D

Glad to know Mazda was listening to the growing frustration.
All - This forum rocks! Where did Mazda go to get the 'inside scoop' of their soon-to-be RX-8 owners.
Right here folks.
Fuber - you have also represented Mazda well with your insight & comments. Thanks for being our most recent 'mouthpiece' for Mazda.

Thanks Fubar! Like I already said, you da man!
Now, please step aside for just a minute, thanks...
Uh,
Domo arigato Mr. Mazda. I love you guys! The Rx-8 is phat! And if y'all don't mind, mine is coming later on, so please don't stop that 100% inspection stuff. And, uh yeah, if y'all want to add a little something to it, please be my guest. Domo!
