seems like the Canada forum should be renamed "Ontario/Quebec" :P

just wondering if any RX-8 owners/potentials are on the board from B.C.?

had the chance to own a silver GT with moonroof, but i want the titanium. don't know if it's still available, but give Port Moody Mazda a call if interested.

Hi jowettw,

My Canada includes BC

Welcome to the forums...there are quite a few West Coasters bombing around in here.

Why didn't you like the silver? The pics I've seen so far are pretty hot, especially the ones with the red interior. I know that seems odd, but check this one out here:

hey guy...
not an owner, but certainly from BC.

edit: anyone know who the Winning Blue driver in Vancouver???

jowettw

heh, thanks Deep Blue

i thought canadian's couldn't customize their interiors?!?! how did you get the silver with red interior?!

i jumped on the silver as soon as the dealer called me, but i sat down and looked at all the pictures of the RX in silver on my hard drive and then all the RX pictures i had in titanium ... i called the dealer back and told him i'd rather wait for the titanium - it speaks to me more than the silver. bit too flashy (in terms of brightness) for me i guess.

wakeech - if it's a girl driving that winning blue RX, i think she's the same girl from MPSport.net ... i'm driving a protege right now until i get the titanium RX. they have an RX-8 sub-forum there but there's not much content (not knocking it though).

That's an American car. He snarfed the picture from this thread.

This car is flashy in black.

Actually, I never referred to the car as being mine...I said that I thought the red interior looked hot with the silver exterior, and used the pic from another thread as reference.

And what exactly is "snarfing"?

when are you getting your titanium jowettw?

with so little RX-8s out on the road here, i think any colour RX8 would rock! i haven't seen too many RX-8s here in Vancouver! actually i haven't seen one myself, but i know they're out there!

wakeech

a SHE, huh??

why's she not over here again??

jowettw

not getting it til september or october. by then i will be on the island and back to school.

LiQuiDLaM - have you tried tracking down an RX-8 from all the dealerships within reasonable distance? the dealership that i've put my deposit down on has a "used" titanium rx-8 available (~1000 km) - but no discount. the sales manager wanted to play with it i guess but now wants to sell it.

the dealer also said he's having a "hard time" selling the RX-8 now, but my car shopping experience has shown me that most car salesmen's advice should be taken with a kilogram of salt.

LiQuiDLaM

sort of, i contacted the 3 dealers closest to me! i might be calling the rest of the 604 dealerships by today or tomorrow!

which dealership is this used titanium at? know if its an auto and fully loaded? but i doubt i'd really want it, if im gonna pay full MSRP, i rather wait and get a new one wif low km so i know the car hasn't been messed with!

jowettw

the used titanium is at Port Moody Mazda. it's a 6 MT with sunroof.

Was on the Island recently, and thought it was not a good place for an '8', speed limit in the south was 80k everywhere, and traffic in Victoria was brutal. I seem to remember you had good memories of Victoria, (what has become of our old friend Mr. Potato?)

Then I took a trip to Port Alberni, and on to Tisookalook (whatever!) and found the twisties in between most welcoming!
Maybe come back when I have more time.....
