TX Hey guys!

I am a Mazda salesman in Tyler, Texas for Mike Pile Autoplex Mazda BMW.
My wife drives an 04 GT w/MT that is strictly stock, & right now, I am looking
for one for myself to tweak. We have a 2010 Black on Black Rx8 AT in the show room
in front of my office, but I prefer the MT, however... this thing looks killer, and
needs a test drive.

We're 90 minutes East of Dallas and the same West of Shreveport.
I hope to see you guys at future meets. If there are any parts you are
looking for that are dealer stock, give me a holler. I'll check what we have
available. (but don't swamp me.)

If you guys want to trade up, or move your 8's, give me a holler.
I love driving the 8's.

Oh hai guise! I'm from the future. Gas prices are at $0.99 a gallon and the value of a US Dollar have plummeted ten fold. The new 16x only makes 260 horsepower at crank and the MPG we're getting is only 13 city, and 15 highway. So, Mazda decided to put them in the new RX-168938214718345 because it's a great engine for interstellar travel. I hope to see you guys here in the future!

Right, and I'm from the future where we no longer have Taco Bell or burritos sold in general due to all of the illegals being deported. We're F'd.

Yes, guys, it's a 2010, with the bose package & wireless key system.

The key looks like a fat credit card.

If I could only get the anti-grav to kick in, and the fusion food
processor to make the jump to hyper space, I'd be gone.

You guys are alright.

Lol, if they did, it's proof that this is a weird world, man.
Double checked sticker says 2010.

Actually classic Mazda of Denton has had a 2010 for a few weeks now.

Think it was an AT as well though.

Dealer said 2010 is same as 2009 just newer production year.

Word from the dealer is there will not be another updated RX8 model.

Yeah they are going to make 2011 and 2012 ones too, but the design wont be updated, its just the year model they were produced for. Wouldnt make since just to have a 2009 till 2012 would it?

Plus (dont quote me on this) I'd bet they sell more AT's than MT's...
