Talking Dealer just called for Port Options

I just got a call from Irvine Mazda wanting to know what port options I would like to add. I take that as a very good sign.

I Added the rotory accent package and the 6 cd in dash changer.

it may be a good sign but if it was my dealer that called to ask i would say it was because they just noticed that there were new options available that we have all known about for weeks.

I wanted to change my preorder to and this is what Mazda told me on 3/17/03

As for spec changes, it is too late for vehicles ordered during January (April production). If Marlin Mazda ordered your RX-8 during February (May production), or March (June production), it is still possible to make spec changes. The tentative spec change cutoff for May production is April 21, 2003. Tentative spec change cutoff for June production is May 19, 2003. I would recommend checking with Marlin Mazda for when your RX-8 was actually ordered.
That said, I figured I couldn't get the navigation on the car this late in the game. But I'll call tomorrow and find out.

Funny, we joked about late July, but then I was #9, so I'm in round 2. But I don't give him that much credit. He was surprised when I explained to him that the spare tire option, really was a spare tire. He didn't know there wasn't one included standard.

If the US production started today, then I wouldn't expect the car before 2 months from today.
