media attention to Mazda under stated HP issues...
Has the media caught on and reported the Mazda mistakes / buy back/ compensation to the mass yet?
i remember seeing a one page artical on the 8 (marketing/hype kinda artical) on LA times the day mazda "sends out the letters"
anyone seen anything else?

Yep it made the national news, I seem to recall there was an article in USA Today on Wednesday 9/3 give or take a day. I didn't save the paper, but it was "public" because others were telling me about it, knowing I had recently purchased an RX8.

What I don't like in the mis-information these other people get from FRESH ALLOY. One of my cow-workers was asking me about the "recall" due to engine FAILURE!!!!!!!!???? He said the recall is listed on the nhtsa.gov website.
BS! No such recall, but he was sure it was true because FRESH ALLOY is a "trusted" source for info.
Oh yeah R I G H T! Like I should believe everything said on this forum about the 350Z????

You guys are lucky in the USA. In the UK the power is down to around 130bhp but ther is no cash +/- free service for us. Probably because we are less likely to sue than you. I've written to Mazda UK about this racial discrimination but dont hold out any hope.

That is what I get too. I mention it first and they either don't know about it or say, "yeah I heard something about that. What's 9 horsepower anyway?"
