MX-8 is coming!
 

what the S###???

idk what to say...sorta happy sorta pissed

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.

Completely a joke.

It's dated April 1st.

Oh shit, how did i missed that? Gonna call the dealership in my area and put my deposit down ... skyactiv bonnet its made from popcorn, cant be wrong with that!!!

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."

ya fake

Joke or not, Its not a bad idea.

Do want

:rofl: newbs

falling for an april fools joke on the 3rd. :lol:

LOL the links even say April's fool's in the link view.

I just wasted 10min.. ugh....

^Lol. I'm killing time waiting for the girlfriend to arrive and it's been more than ten minutes. :lol:

What!?

"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."

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

I wanted that in my RX-8 =(

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.

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.

not sure how I feel on this...

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

Easier said than done! :(

Honestly, that probably would be a nice car. I wouldn't really mind if the Renesis engine were offered as an option in a couple different cars, changing the MX designation to RX in the process. That way the continued production of a superb platform like the RX-8 body wouldn't be dependent upon the fortunes of a niche-market engine.

Not for a deaf-mute.

Quite screwing around. Get the 1.6 perfected for the average person (,like me) and come out with a three rotor high performance model for those that have the bucks and desire for a kick ass rotary.

Go 4 rotor or go home! ;)
