#32 of 3616 RX-8 Price by boomn29 Jan 22, 2002 (10:50 am)
I seen from a recent autoshow that this base price was supposed to be like $26,900. Most equipped would run about $31k though. I'll keep looking for the link!

Hmmm.. I'd probably wait for the second year of production... so 2004 I might have a new ride   Price - that would be great if the pricing is under 30k. Insurance won't be a factor for me after I'm married... maybe wife factor will be though.. yikes!

I don't know why you guys keep mentioning torque. I think the acceleration could be nearly as fast, and I'm thinking the car will be a winner. Plus, I heard a 6-speed sequential manual is the standard transmission, although I could be wrong.
#35 of 3616 Update from R&T mag by csuftitans Mar 07, 2002 (10:10 pm)
According to Sam Mitani, a R&T mag editor who test drove the latest version of RX8 in japan, the car weight 2970lbs, with 250HP, 162 lb -ft, 0-60mph in 6sec, 1/4mile in 14.5sec and will be priced at $26,000 base. 50/50 weights distribution and 90% of torque available at 3250rpm, not bad. While I was reading this mag, my wife commented on the cars look as being very Ferrari like and she said that we can have one if we have enough extra money, Woohoo!!   zoom-zoom

RX8, WRX, EVO, I bet the magazines are gearing up for the shootout already
#37 of 3616 R&T Article... by browntrout1 Mar 10, 2002 (11:23 pm)
I have the new R&T article and the RX-8 looks great. It looks great without out any wierd modern-hey-lets-try-to-be-different things. The head lights don't run half way to the windshield (like the 350Z) and the back of the trunk is close to vertical...you don't get the droopy but effect. The interior looks great too. Nothing too over that top and the little rotor designs (on seat and gear shifter) are pretty cool. Looking forward to its release. 9000 RPM redline sounds like alot of fun too!
#38 of 3616 RX-8 Price by boomn29 Apr 01, 2002 (10:49 am)
Anybody heard about the price yet? Anybody put a deposit down on one of these?
#39 of 3616 2970lbs! by speculative Apr 01, 2002 (2:09 pm)
That is still good weight. I really really really like the RX8 but something is bothering me. Consistantly all past mazda rotery's had lots of engine problems and burned oil. I really hope this one is different because I love the double doors, and the styiling both inside and out. But that idea of the bad rotery (which makes sence because auto makers dont have as much experience with the rotery) keeps clawing at the back of my mind. If it still has good ratings 2 or 3 years after it comes out I may buy one.

Mazda tells us the car will be in the 26-32K range....but nothing solid yet.   Saw it yesterday at the NY auto show. It looks even better in person. The RX-8 looks a little stubby in the pics but in person it does not appear that way.   Rich
