Hi All

I've been browsing this forum for a while but have had nothing
new to post until today.

Just received my copy of AutoExpress magazine (UK) and they
have an article on the RX-8. Nothing new - just images of the
yellow one all of us have already seen - they do however say
the price will be £25995.

The full article can be found on-line at the following address but
you will probably have to register (free) before you can access it:

They also have a picture of the Mx-5 coupe - it looks really
stunning but it will only have the standard MX-5 1.8 litre engine
producing 146bhp.

What do you all think of this (hope it appears!!):

Does anyone have more info on this beauty?

that miata there has the lines of an Aston Martin Vantage...only, it's about half the size, and has only a quarter of the hp. :)

Not too bad, though... but I don't think I'll buy a Miata until I see a turbo/super-charged one...stock.

Unless of course, I break down and get like a 96 or 97. I love those pop-up headlights :)
