I have tried and tried to build a stinking RX-8 online and have had zero luck. I put in my zip code and get some crap like:

(where here means the Mazda homepage). So, I'm confused and pretty frustrated at the same time. I'd sure like to price one of these out and call a dealer. I'm using Internet Explorer and zip 48188. Can anyone help me out? Maybe just give me a run-down on all the options on the 6-speed 250-hp unit. Thank you!

 

The 6speed has 3 option packets, plus the availability of the Navigation system.
The 3 packages : 1) Sport - DSC (dynamic stability control), Xenon headlights, fog lights
2) Touring - add to sport pkg: BOSE audio system, auto day/night rearview mirror w/ Homelink, power sunroof
3) Grand Touring (GT) - add to touring: leather, pwr driver seat w/lumbar support, heated front seats

there is speculation as to whether touring pkg will include heated mirrors. And whether 6CD will be standard, or come with the Bose upgrade, or be a dealer add-on. Specs say single CD in the US for now.
p.s. former NB owner too. (99 TDI) And I just pulled up my saved order specs, so it build from start may be working now!
oh, and the Nav system is $2000, available here as stand alone option.

 

well i just did it with the zip you provided and it worked fine. perhaps your problem can be found in message that you got

"Invalid URI in request buttonAction=continue&zip=48188&x"

there is an extra "8" there try starting over with the next closest sip to you and see what happens. the only thing that changes because of the zip code is the destination charge so the price you get will be accurate using the next zip over.

 

That's what I thought at first too, but that's an &, not an 8.

 

ooops good point but i did just try it with 48188 and it worked. maybe they had a bug and they have worked it out

 

Thanks guys... I got it to work on a different computer for some other reason?!
