I heard that 2005 is most likely the last year for the 8 because of lack of overall interest in a 29,000 dollar mazda.. does anyone know if this is true? If it is we will all be the few that own such a great car!

 

uh, no.

 

are you just trying to troll? Great first post.

 

Hahaha...that cracks me up!

 

Sales numbers show the opposite. May I ask your source for this info?

 

 

www.my350z.com hahahaha

 

^lol. I wanted him to say my Nissan salesman (or neighbor) told me..

 

I wish I hadn't clicked. And replied.

 

I saw this too. It was brought up during the Michael Jackson trial.

 

His tone doesn't sound like he's a troll..."If it is we will all be the few that own such a great car!"

...maybe he actually DID hear this somewhere (false, of course)...let the man speak!

 

But if he owned an 8 would he say

 

Haha....you guys are relentless! (and funny :D ) I think Catch22 was actually serious with the comment...but Catch...have you been reading the moto mags and paying attention to the extreme interest in the 8? Not a snowballs chance will Mazda give up on the renesis 8...it's the best thing they've produced in ages, and the sales figures to prove it. No, this is not just another Delorean (sorry to hear of the guy's demise, btw)

 

this is funny.

 

Man, some of you guys can be harsh. I can see why a lot of newer people don't come back to the site.

Either way, whether it's true or not, if you've already got yours, why would you even care?

 

Catch Perhaps you could elaborate on the source of this news?

Please read the above link, it should answer all of your questions

 

Umm...that article doesn't say anything about them not making any more...it says they've made 100,000 of them, and people are buying them

 

I was thinking the same thing.

Maybe he meant for Catch-22 to read it.

 

Let's see, Mazda has sold more RX-8's in the U.S. alone in the first year, than it sold of the 3rd gen RX-7 in it's entirety in this country. The Renesis has been international engine of the year for 2 years. Mazda has returned to racing rotaries again in LeMans with a 3 rotor engine based off of the Renesis engine in the RX-8, the Formula Mazda cars use the RX-8 engine, Mazda still advertises it, Mazdaspeed is working on an upgrade model, etc...

Yup it looks like it's gone.

 

I really dont give a damn.

 

If it's true (which I doubt) our equity just went up- if not, our quity, still goes up- We win either way.

 

im thinking he heard it from reactionary

 

I am not an expert on auto sales, but in my country, we have to wait for an RX-8 six months. If you order it today, you will receive in October. Anyhow, I do hope they continue to build them for a while.

 

Here in the UK the 8 has just been voted Coupe of the year, thats two years on the trot, 8 will be around for a long time yet, they are also working on the supercharger, cant wait
