Lets stick to comments on the car, and do the only thing we can do - wait till the car arrives.

BE POSITIVE MAN! POSITIVE KARMA!

Do you dig Graves?
Yeah, they're alright...

Bearing in mind that we were hoping that (based on at least two hardcopy pointers) Mazda UK were going to read this forum it seemed sensible to tell them the truth about our feelings. I think it's fair to say that I've been extremely positive about the car throughout and especially today as have most people. Mazda won't change their act unless they see the depth of resentment they generate.

Edo

Agree. However if they have been reading, and given the feedback from dealers, and all the freebies, I rekon they know. The trouble is, I dont think they can do much. If Japan say they are delaying, I doubt their protests will have much effect.

I'm just trying to talk myself into waiting - help me out here!!! Otherwise I might end up spending more money on something else, cause trust me I cant find anything as cheap that interests me..

Lensman

Disagree. They can stop taking us for granted, start communicating properly, start keeping their promises and stop changing the specifications and delivery schedules without actually bothering to tell us. It's not what they can control but the way they deal with it that's the issue.

Edo

Ok, sorry I was talking delivery... I agree communication is next to useless. I'd rather have a firm date in November and some decent communication than "maybe in October if we can be arsed".

They could put a smile on all of our faces and deliver our cars next month!!

That would be a great stunt.

Unfortunately, pigs might fly:D

"oh no man, its the piiiigs"

another Young ones quote to kind of bring the karma in here full circle.

I'm on a positive kick too at the moment after speaking to people "interested in cars" who all think its a great car - in principle.

Also all think that the depreciation wont be cack at all. Actually thinking about this, when I had my Mazda 323 (P551 BBC) from new, I paid £11,995 for it and I remember the what car depreciation being such that it would be worth 43% of the original price after 3 years. Well guess what, I've only just sussed that all they have (probably) done is whack the Mazda average 43% figure on the '8 with no extra thought, and we've been reading FAR too much into this.
BTW, I sold the 323 after 2 years and got back £9,700 which is nigh on 81% of the original.
If this is true on the 8 (which I would probably do to sell with a years' warranty) then I would get back £17,800 which is therefore a loss of around £4,500 - or £2.5k a year.

I can live with that.
