Why are we the last on this planet to get our cars

The Japanese already have theirs
The Americans have theirs 'on the water'
The Europeans are next

We're last! Why?

I guess I'm just getting a bit too impatient with all the waiting and it makes me damn crazy jeolous reading about how the rest of the world is just a few weeks away from getting their cars. And we're still months away.

Strop over now

It makes it all the more annoying if you look at the Discussion boards with threads titled "Officially on Water" and "just been built e-mail"

They do say patience is a virtue.

At this rate we will be the most virtuous people on the planet as well.

Because Mazda = Japan and US = $$$$

Were the (at best) 3rdmost important market.

No idea when Australia/HZ get theirs tho.

Thumbs up patience can be rewarding

From my knowledge cars of australian specifications are currently being built in japan in the month of june for shipping and delivery in middle august , patience has its own rewards .DONT forget the first cowboys who went out in the desert ,some died others came back with arrows in their backs , and a wise american said that the must be indians out there .so dont be jealous or envious and learn from them ,its best to learn to shave on some one elses fac e ha ha ha .

Look at it this way.

At least the Japanese and US market will have time to discover the early production faults before we get ours!

Come on Mazda UK, give us some news! We know you read the forum!!!

We are one month away from the original promised date for our cars and we know they're delayed but until when???

Please save the negativity from creeping in again and give us something to look forward to.

Cheers

We're last! Why?
Are our deliveries after the rest of Europe? I know the European Press launch is a month ahead of the UK one, but I was assuming that at the same time as the UK launch they will hold the French, German, Italian launches etc. i.e. Europe doesn't mean "Europe except for the UK". Or are they really ahead of us?

the EP No. thread is saying delivery at end Sept. Which means October...

Maybe because demand has not met expectations in the UK, that the rest of world are getting priority?

Ed,

I would agree with you maybe that UK demand is a little slower than expected that they have delayed building cars to the UK specification. Bearing in mind the jap variant is right hand drive so it wouldnt be difficult for them to "shift" the uk orders to meet the Far Eastern demand.

Auzzie cars if i recall are also right hand drive. (been a while since i had a spin on the auzzie motorways.......... what we call a b class road with passing places )

I already know that there are some individuals have taken delivery of there nissan 350z's. I have seen the photos.


Think the UK/European Market means jack didly to anyone other than the europeans.

All jap cars come to Britain/Europe last. Unless of course they are made here which kinda makes them have to release them here first. Like the Accord made down in Swindon.
