He got to keep his Bathurst-R FD, too.

That's just too funny. I think it says more about the rubbish in the PAG than the rx-8 though...

I don't know, Aston Martin is part of the PAG, and I must say I'd take the new Vanquish V12 over the RX-8 any day

The RX-8 would be #2 on the list though, for sure.

That statement alone makes me feel much better about wanted a first year car. Generally they are the most problematic. He's seen all the inside to development and most likely all of production planning and he still wants one....thats believing in your product.

Jerome81 · 05-24-2002, 03:30 PM

true but he's probably not paying a cent for that car

And he probably doesn't really care all that much about problems, as his will likely be the first fixed and again, he won't ever have to pay for it.

Lucky CEO's

That and he will most likely not have to deal with 'the dealers' and get it handed to him when Mazda wants TOO TOO much for repairs.

That would be a pretty cool job. Who can blame him for wanting an RX-8?

Toadman · 06-07-2002, 09:53 AM

He's no longer President of Mazda, but CEO of Ford's Premier Auto Group(Volvo, Jag, Aston Martin, etc.)

And he still wants an RX-8. That's a good sign.
Wanna bet he gets VIN# 0000001 ??
