Well....

I often take a walk around the Dixie Auto Mall after the dealerships have closed; one of the dealerships there is Ontario Mazda, who claim to be a high volume dealer.

This evening I counted EIGHTEEN brand-new-still-in-the-wrapper RX-8s sitting on their lot.

All were GTs. All colours were represented, although they only had one red one.

Think they are getting ready for spring?

Eighteen. EIGHTEEN! Holy crap...

So much for exclusivity

 

Seem you are a closet window shopper!

FYI: I used to go and look at that mall after hours when I used to live down there as well!

Eighteen eh? Wow... must be upping the shipments for this year!

 

Rumored Canadian allocation for 2004 is 2400 units. So much for exclusivity is right!

 

any idea how many of those are autos?

 

the dealer here in little rock has about 12 or more, we drove by earlier and they had them every where...but there always the same ones, the dealer said he hopes spring will help sales.

 

I talked o a rep at Ontario Mazda today... he kept going on that they're the only dealership in Ontario that has RX-8s in stock right now. I had to correct him. Theres like 8 here in St. Catharines, a tiny dealership by comparison.


PS. I know for sure there is 1 black auto on the lot

 

Oh heck yeah....

I personally wouldn't deal with Ontario Mazda for the sorts of reasons Murray is talking about. They might have the cars, but I find the sales philosophy there less than, er, honourable.
