Ok Here we go, I have received a timely response from Mazda.
Our questions have been passed on to someone else, but our contact has beed very helpful in providing some info for us as follows:
"Thank you for your e-mail which I have passed to a colleague who is
responsible for the RX-8 and should be able to answer your questions.
The one item I can answer is the one on events leading up to the UK launch
from a media perspective.
There have been two media drive events, the first was in Myoshi in Japan
back in November where four journalists drove the car. This was followed up
by the World launch at Laguna Seca in January where a further 11 journalists
drove the car.
The next media drive of the RX-8 will be mid-May when 70 UK journalists will
drive European specification cars in Rimini. This will be followed by a UK
driving exercise where 120 journalists will drive the UK spec, RHD car in
the UK.
Already there has been a lot written about this car, however, the majority
of press comment will hit between the end of May and August."
Lots of reviews around May time then :)
Looks promising for the other questions as well.
