I don't buy this, I thought it would be AWD turbo ~270 hp. I don't think they'd have a Mazda6 faster than a Mazdaspeed 8 or the next RX-7, it's just dumb.

just so we're clear (and to keep you from being a smartass next time), i didn't make up the story. i solely repeated what i was told. it may be wishful thinking on their part though.

I'm just hardly believe any words say by a local dealer person. They are the last person to know what happen. Anyways, Napboy, thanks for telling us. I hope it's not a rumor.

Truth of life #254:

Dealer's "facts" are as good as most people's rumors. Dealer's rumors should be ignored completely.

Hmm..I was under the impression the Mazdaspeed Miata would be out late this year, specifically in December. Am I remembering something wrong?

...i heard it from a friend of a friend of mine... in this case, a sales associate at a local dealer who claims to have heard it from a Mazdaspeed sales rep. greeeeat... we all know how helpful, reliable, and realistic these guys are.

i'm not trying to harp on you, just to simply reinforce that skepticism.

no one is trying to be rude, but since i joined the forum over a year ago there's been plenty of similar rumours (in their vagueness and relitive untrustworthiness) , and it's just natural that stories when coming from an unknown, and probably unreliable source are scrutinized. as i said, no one's trying to be an *** about it.

If this car really out in the market, it will take away a lot of sales from STi and Evo. :D

MazdaSpeed's quality is awesome! You get your moneys worth!
I have had enough exposure around MazdaSpeed products with their MSProtege and from the parts that I have installed on my 8, to recognize that everything is nothing but top quality when it comes to their R&D.:D

Talking Why no answers on maxda speed rx8??

Will mazda make the tune up parts available to early owners of the underpowered rx8.

Why is this model only available in japan and not all other markets and why in such limited numbers ?

Mazda has certainly screwed its most faithfull loyal buyers by selling a good but if some what underpowered rotary ,

The mazdaspeed version is what the original rx8 should have been in the 1st place i certainly wont be a customer for any future underpowered and lied about power figures from mazda .

shame mazda shame your customers wont be so gullable or loyal for your next models .

Unhappy

Before the RX8 was released all the supposed power output numbers were trumpetted by mazda 250HP in the U.S and 184KW in Australia
.(As we all found out this was a lot of BULL ****)

Now that the MAZDASPEED RX8 TYPE S IS coming to japan how come no output figures are being released ???

MAZDA why dont you come to the party and be honest for once.???
