Here's my second demographics poll. Let's see if we're treating the 8 like a family car...

Yo, bro... thnx for pointing that out. I do observe, however, that was a pretty old poll before anyone actually placed an order (Dec 02). Indulge me in running new numbers and try to narrow down those who are actually buying the car. BTW, I can't see the results in the older poll, just the comments posted. Do the results vanish after a while?

Must be something in the water; my 14-yr-old is saying the same thing. Maybe they got their own chat room going and we're not invited?!

My three year old is already doing that! He can point at a picture of it and say, "That's oouurr car." (and or MY car)

He's been a little disconcerted by my selling off Daddy's car (green Miata) and Gramma's car (beige mini-van) in preparation for the RX-8. He even knows it's gonna be yellow.

My wife is actually pleased with the current delay! She was really bummed that I might get to pick it up without her being there or getting to test drive it. (She's on a trip to the east coast, returns tomorrow) Ahh ... yet another conspiracy theory, Mazda would not release the cars until my wife was ready to test drive.

I am married with a baby due 2 months after the RX-8 finally arrives, so I suppose I qualify for the married with young kids.

There isn't an option in the poll for my family status*...but I guess we could emigrate to Canada and get married now ;-)

Married 9 years -- her kids (17 & 15) live with us.

The RX-8 will be a family ride. While we do have a '94 Jeep Cherokee, I don't see ANY of us wanting to use that when we can have a blast in the RX-8.

Soon Come.....

Married - no kids (yet).

I will probably keep this car a long time, so the ability to put a child seat in the back seat was actually one of the reasons I ended up picking the eight over some of the competition(350Z), even though we don't have kids yet.

I have been lurking around for several months but this is my first post.
I am 35, married with a 3 months old son. I will be in the market for a new car next year. Really like the RX-8. I was in the Rev-It-Up in Dallas and sat in 2 pre-production cars. Loved them, but have concern with how well a car seat will fit behind me (I am 6'3"). Really looking forward for info/comment from people when they get their cars.
BTW I really enjoy this board, it is very informative.
