What's the ordering process?
Hi
I placed an order (at last) for a Winning Blue with my dealer just over a month ago. Paid the £1000 deposit - delivery expected April/May. I've had no further contact since that day. On the day I was given a 'New/Used Vehicle Order Form' listing the model, options and price. But I've heard nothing from Mazda - should I have? I want to make sure I get my ProDrive!
Should I phone the dealer?

Receive letter telling you how wonderfull the car is, oh and something about a month or so delay.
Wait.
Wait.
Receive letter stating a possible delivery month, if the ship has the righ sails fitted or something. Mentions a date(1) by which you'll be adviced of a more accurate date.
Wait.
Date(1) passes.
Wait.
Get informed by letter that date(1) was just a laf, sorry to pull your leg, dealers may know more, or less, when the temp has finished keying in some details.
Wait.
Dealer knows a date! but not what the date means.
Wait.
Wait.
Some ****** on the innerweb posts pics of His car at a dealers lot. Still no firm delivery date, only the majical 'date' the temp keyed in.

Evil,
I received an e-mail confirmation within a few days and then received a "welcome pack" confirming my order, about 3 weeks later. I then had a phone call from Mazda UK, about a week ago, confrming (again) the details of my order.
I should add that I ordered on 21st September.
Hope this helps!

Besides, The RX-8 has been on Japans roads for seven months now.

... thanks Rob!... I guess someone had to post that!! :-)
Murphy - thanks - we ordered the same date! Mine's a blue so it's not due for some time (the 'second coming' so to speak!). Perhaps I'll give the dealer a ring and check to see when I get a 'welcome pack'.
