It was all so interesting until you get to the end:

"The new MX-8 will go on sale globally on the 1st of April. Its main competitors will be Gordon Murray T-25 and the leaf-sucking Nissan Leaf."

Obviously an April Fools joke.

SubliminalPollution 04-03-2012 02:40 PM

Completely a joke.

alnielsen 04-03-2012 03:03 PM

It's dated April 1st.

Dima_MX6 04-03-2012 04:23 PM

Hahaha, i was particularly excited about the Skyactive Cylinder Deactivation... :shakes head:

"Most notable of which is Skyactiv Cylinder Deactivation, which shuts down 2 of the 4 cylinders in each brake caliper at light load to save your pedal effort."

damn 1 april joke, my jaw dropped to the floor when I read 7 speed dubble clutch.

I wanted that in my RX-8 =(

Old Rotor 04-04-2012 11:00 AM

Yes ...even though we all knew it was April fools(as we were reading it) we liked how it included all the things we've read over the years. I love too throw Options out there and discuss them. Would it get over 30mpg? How much would the balance of the car change ..etc...

:eyetwitch

I don't care how much MPG this theoretical car gets. I wouldn't touch a car with this feature.

EightCostsMoney 04-04-2012 11:38 AM

I know I'm signing my own death warrant on the forums but I would by a MX-8 with the Mazda Speed 3 engine and Turbo in it. I wish it was not a April fool’s joke.

shinsoku 04-04-2012 01:20 PM

not sure how I feel on this...

lastphaseofthis 04-04-2012 01:47 PM

you guys do realize we can just do this ourselves...

step one, buy 2.3 turbo from MS3... or wait until a new turbo four with "skyactiv" is released.

Step two, put it in your rx8. bingo Mx-8
