does anyone on this forum have a steady idea of what the price of the 03 rx-8 is going to be at. i've see many differant prices but im still not sure what the final release base price is going to be?

You might want to take a look at some of the other posts, it's been covered elsewhere. However, to my knowledge, the best guess comes from Road and Track. They said that Mazda said they'll keep it as "competetive as possible." R&T also guessed at roughly 26k base, and 30k loaded.
Keep in mind it's just one guy's guess, although he does have some experience in this area.
