I move to Guangzhou at the begining of the month, and I have seen lots of Mazda6's, but not a single RX8.
Overall the flow of traffic does not seem to encourage the kind of driving which makes an RX-8 fun...

The 8 is simply not popular yet in HK or China given the lack of understanding and interest in the rotary engine combined with the lack of of qualified service technicians there. However, I would expect that to change soon if Mazda/Ford is serious on penetrating this massive market. Rising crude prices will of course have a negative effect in the short term.
mdmaclean...you might still be able to get another 8 there yet...at least they drive on the same side of the car and road as what you're used to

i've seen a few RX-8 in hk... mind u hk has lots of different kinds of car... seens GT-rs, Evolutions.... no rx7 tho.... but in China.... u'll be lucky if u even OWN a car.... the import tax is so crazy that u could buy another car with it...(100% tax)... lol... but now i think it's tax now but still quite expensive... so u'll have to be pretty rich to own any kind of cars....
