Latest Mazda News - re: X-Men
 

Hi, here's a cut and paste of the news posted today at Mazda's world web site. From this I gather that we will see the 8 in late 2003, and my wild guess is its gona ge a 2004 model...

I am guessing because it would stand to reason that Japan will get the 8 before the rest of the world and its not going to be sold there until Spring 2003 as stated at the bottom of the thread.

( what starts with F and ends in UCK) thats right FiretrUCK lol

Mazda RX-8 to Star in Twentieth Century Fox's X-Men Sequel

Mazda Motor Corporation will team up with Twentieth Century Fox to produce the film "X-MEN2," which will premiere in both Japan and America in May 2003. "X-MEN2" is the sequel to Twentieth Century Fox's box office hit "X-MEN," released in 2000. The "RX-8" will appear in the film as Cyclops' "X-Car." Mazda and Twentieth Century Fox are working together to develop promotions to support the release.
"While the RX-8 is a genuine sports car, it also delivers the functionality of a 4 door, 4 seater. Embodying unprecedented value, it really is a 'sports car like no other.' Expect great things at next year's launch," said Masazumi Wakayama, Executive Officer, General Manager, Domestic Marketing Div.

The RX-8 is Mazda's new sports car model equipped with an all-new rotary engine, and is due to be launched in Japan next spring.

Movie in May means we can buy the car in June
 

Mazda is not going to hype their market in May and then let all that consumer interest dissipate over the course of the summer. If the car shows up in a May movie, we'll be able to buy one in June or July. This is good news.

I agree, good news because that's around the time I'll be able to afford it! :)

By the way, this has been posted before. Not to be a nag, but let's try that search feature :)

It takes a lot to keep ones sanity in these heady times. I don't know if I can wait as long as it seems we are being asked to.

Actually, I know I can and probably will, tho I will not be pleased to wait too long,

We all want to drive and own our dream car.

C'mon Mazda, giwwie we cyar.

Boy, if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black...
