He was talking about used car prices. I am pretty sure the price will not be affected by the movie as mazda already planned for it and knew about it. Hopefully the demand will increase though.

Early Delivery & the X-Men movie

I saw the RX8 X-Men car at the LA Auto Show and thought the 'X' treatment made the car look really ugly - x-shaped inserts in the snout and the winged spoiler totally messed up the lines and look.
Good thing I saw the RX8 before the movie came out!

1. the sti comes out in june and if the rx8 comes out at the same time then the sti might take alot of sales away from potential buyers, i for one was considering both cars before i ordered the rx8. but alot of plp will see the 300hp/300ft and will automatically choose the sti, so it would be a good idea to release the rx8 earlier then the sti.
Yes the sti comes out in june but in VERY LIMITED numbers (something like 1700?). I wouldn't envision seeing an sti on a lot for a good 2 years at least. They are all pre-sale

yeah, also it is similar for the 8 to an extent. In a perfect world (maybe) RX-8s would not even be on any lots until the fall when they go on sale "for real". Only pre-ordereds would be driving around town.

However, some of the dealers in larger areas who got more allocations are keeping some of the pre-orders for themselves for either the showroom, or to sell on the lot (for a premium, I'm sure). So, you may see some on the lots this spring/summer, but once they are gone, that is it until the fall.

Read my comment in context with what I quoted. Anyone purchasing a vehicle based on The Fast and the Farcical needs help.

yes it is (a fully functional wing), and azn, I checked it out, autoweek and the subaru site claim 4000 units will enter the US 'in a good year'. Thats a far cry from rx8 production numbers.
