What are the odds, I keep hoping to hear something after some early week excitement.

Actually, that top response should be "less than 25%". It's looking like next week (he says optimistically).

Seems that the majority is erring on the side of pessimism.

The car isn't gonna be here this week. I told everybody I know and their mother that I would have the car this week. So now I get asked about the car about every 5 minutes. When I tell them it's not here yet, I get "You should have bought xxxx car and you wouldn't be having this problem". I'm about to stangle the next person that ask's me about the car.

Yes, I agree.. there should be a less than 25%.. or even a 0%...

Not being pessimistic, but just covering all voting bases..

Damn.....what a bunch of pessimists!!! I can't believe how many of you voted 25%. I clicked 100%!!

There is probably already somebody somewhere in the U.S. that has their car....they're just not on the forum.

A tiny Mazda dealership with about 10 cars (that's 10 total cars....not 8's) on their lot in the middle of BFE with some 80 year old farmer that pre-ordered has gotten the 1 RX-8 that they will sell this year. He's driving around on some country road....chewing tobacco....spitting out the window and letting it run down the side of the door....listening to a Patsy Cline CD.....and here we are, the hardcore enthusiasts still waiting impatiently.

I couldn't care less. I have waited ten years for a new car, and waiting a few more weeks isn't going to bug me a bit.

So in the spirit of congeniality, I hope that you all get your cars before mine :) . I know that you guys have REALLY waited. Me it's only been a bit over a month. You guys just hang on. It'll get here!!!

I won't vote because there's no 0%. Even if they get released from port tomorrow, it'll take too long for the truck to come in and we'll all be stuck awaiting PDI until Monday.

I generally consider myself an optimist, but I saw no 0% but voted for 25% since it was the lowest number available.

But... I'll continue to look for a truck today (none as of 8:02AM EDST at my dealer near DC)

Let's change the poll to 0-25, 26-50, etc. Side bar: I think the poll thingy is mondo cool.

Could a moderator change the poll, and make the first option read 25% chance or less? I should have thought about this more.

There's a difference between pessimistic and realistic. I just don't see it happening realistically until next week.

But, I do like your optimism! :)

It's looks like the optimists won. 3Rotor is taking delivery of his car today.

Lucky man.:D

I just voted 100% having seen 3Rotor's pics. Do I win a prize.

Mazda Monkey -- you need to post more often. I like what you have to say.

Reminds me of the old commercial - "when EFHutton talks - people listen".

Thanks for your comments.
