Guess what I saw at the Mazda Alabang dealer today



I talked to the branch manager and they're planing to bring it in this year or the next. No pricing & no idea on what type of transmission will be available.

I wonder how bad the mileage would be for an RX-8 there? I just remembered driving in SF pinoy-style last Sunday. I think it handles really well to the kind of zigzagging driving we have back there :D
My guestimate would be 50-60% of Mazda's US fuel economy. We have a lot of stop & go traffic eh.

Try Batangas Race Circuit (BRC) in Rosario, Batangas or Subic International Race Track (SIR) in Bataan. Use NLEX (sweet rehab'd expressway. reminds me of the expressways of Italy) to SIR and SLEX (needs some work) for BRC.

So how much do the 8's go for in Manila?

I'd be scared to drive one there cause of the traffic and Jeepneys.

2M pesos... you just have to drive crazy enough just like in the movie tokyo drift so that the jeepney drivers will get scared at you and might as well avoid you... haha! =)

Lol I was gonna post the same thing, except you missed the R34, FC and FB, 350Z and then the maroon Corvette in Banilad. I saw that SM banner you mentioned. I was there around Sinulog week. The henna tattoo on my arms are still here... and they said they would erase in 2 weeks. It's been 3 months!
