The following 20 rotor shaped pics show the first German brochure for the RX-8.
I was too lazy to scan the extra 8 page brochure for the watch that the first 888 German buyers will get.
Enjoy!

Sweet!

Thanks for posting those, Werner. Of course, you realise that you're now obligated to translate the entire contents into English for us, right? ;)

And are my eyes deceiving me, or is that an RX-8 watch on page 10? Is that part of an accompanying gift set, similar to that which came with the 10AE Miata?

I like the watch; how can I get one.

Danke Werner !

Hope we'll get a french one ! ;)

It is a mechanical wristwatch. They claim the normal purchase price to be about 1500 Euro ($ 1600 or so). The first 888 buyers will get one of these numbered limited edition watches.

Either buy one of the first 888 German RX-8's or wait until the first one shows up on Ebay....

Hi Jon,

I know that the pre-ordered RX-8 customers will receive special gift(s). At this point, we unaware of the specific gift(s) that may be included, but an official announcement will be made later.

However, I do know that there are two editions of a rotary watch that are currently available to order through any Mazda dealership's Parts Department. The first edition (1001-W9-030) is shaped like a rotor-housing (elongated oval), with a rotary imprint on the watch face. The second edition (1002-W9-030F) watch face is actually shaped like a rotary (triangular). So, fingers crossed...

BTW, did anyone notice that the rotor housing on the watch face is peripherally ported? ;)

Why not?
Compared to the mega-boring ads that Mazda was famous for, the agency responsible for this brochure must have been wort every Cent.
I like it.

mmmmmmmm...sushi

I like it. So, how's that translation coming along, Werner? You know nobody in America speaks more that one language (and they're lucky if that one language approximates English!)

Don't say you can't read that! English and German used to be the same language, just different dialects, until the Normans (actually people coming from Denmark and Sweden) crossed the channel and sprinkled a few French words into the language. Just try it and post your translation, I will make the probably just few necessary corrections
;)

I speak German ok but i dont know enough technical words to effectively translate it

My two years of German in school were thirty years ago, and our recent trip to Rallye Deutschland didn't bring back a whole lot of it. I can get the general gist of most of it, but the multisyllabic technowords are beyond me.

Maybe later today I'll give it a shot, just for amusement value. :)

It says:

'Mazda RX-8: very fast & nice car. Uhmmm, don't ask us about the weight, power or fuel consumption just yet - no really we'll get back to you on that later, honest... uhmmm...'

Or perhaps my German isn't what it used to be. ;)

Werner, ich möchte einen Prospekt. Können Sie ein an mich verkaufen?

I took 3 years of german 12 years ago, and that's looks about right.

That'll be a collector's item... thanks for sharing!

Ich spreche keine Deutsch.:D I know a few words (but can't spell as you can see). It is sad how little is learned by taking a language in high school.

that was a pretty funny brochure

how come the american brochures aren't out yet??? besides the one they passed out at naias

this is a portion of an email i received today from rx8orders@mazdausa.com :

"The dealers will have brochures closer to the launch date of the
vehicle. Typically, brochures will start to appear at dealerships
within a month or two from the first build date of the vehicle. I would expect them to arrive at dealers in May or possibly June, given that this vehicle is extremely sought after to begin with."

i don't know why the rest of the world is getting brochures earlier since they are getting cars later, except they probably have different policies in each country and of course different ad agencies.

what brochure did they hand out at NAIAS?

dude, you did scan the watch......

and that chicks bellybutton is freking hot...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yes, but there is a complete extra brochure (8 pages) only about the watch, and I did not scan that one.
