TX Question about availability from here on..

Love my car, and from what I have read on here that 2011 is the last production year. With that in mind, would I still have a chance to buy one early 2012?

I'm just thinking long-term and I love my car, those R3's are just beautiful...

Given the options, it really is a irreplaceable car in my opinion, hard to find a formidable competitor in each of its categories minus power.

uhm yes, the ones that havn't sold yet. I would think up until 2013 they might still be 0 mile R3s floating around. But if your going to do it to save money ok. If not maybe look into the RX9 in 2012?

Not to offend the masses, but I do not have much hope for that car in the sense of a timely arrival. But patience is a virtue I am willing to learn and master so yes I shall.

And yes, money is also a factor I think of when buying it so late for obvious reasons. I saw a blue one the other day and I couldn't take my eyes off of it.

You should have no trouble finding one if you want one, even well into 2012. Face it, they pretty much can't even give these cars away anymore but that will make them available for great prices.

Hate to burst your bubble, but if you are counting on a new rotary car for 2012, forget it. Probably more like 2014-15 at the earliest and I even have a suspicion it may not happen at all.

They've been saying the RX9 would be coming out soon since 1861.

Do you have a reference point on that?

Currently spy shots have been taken of a mazda3 or 6 that is holstering the 16x currently under experiment and testing. When i in the process of purchasing my R3 i heard word of the rx9 coming out. Therefore i inquired about it and did a lot of searching. After reading several newsletters and online auto mags, the verdict is 2013. 2012 apparently is going to be the testing year. I don't have the sources because I didn't bother to save it

Lol. Magazines. First time we've heard that. Thanks for the heads up. Seriously this goes beyond beating a dead horse. This is like beating dried up glue or something.

Let's take it easy on him, guy.

Whatever happens in the future, will simply just have to happen.

All we can hope is for the best.

Well i'm assuming it's a general estimate so it's going to be sometime in between those years

Why in hell would anyone claim something that could possibly ruin their credibility? That type of marketing or commercializing doesn't make sense
