Mazda Japan Poll
In the latest edition of the e-mail magazine Mazda Japan send out about the RX8 they've put out a questionairre. It doesn' t tell us much new but I'll translate as best I can. The most interesting thing is the option list but the tradegy is I can't get the nuance between what would you like to be able to choose and what would you choose...quite a difference I know.
No seat insert details either but this is the most concrete news I've seen in Japan.

Q4: Options
Actual translation is "what equipment do you want?" - hard to know if they mean as standard or available as option but given the choices I'm assuming they're options.
1) Discharge headlights
2) 16" wheels
3) 17" wheels
4) 18" wheels
5) DSC [Dynamic Stability Control - like IS300 (hope you can switch it off)]
6) ABS
7) LSD
8) Scuff plate [I guess this is the silver bit saying RX8 on the bottom of the door frame]
9) Leather seats
10) Recaro seats
11) Fabric seats
12) Leather steering wheel
13) Wood steering wheel [Oh no!]
14) Strengthening brake [??? Bigger discs maybe?]
15) Dark glass
16) Water repellent glass [! I thought you just did this with a spray!]
17) Car navigation
18) Premium audio
19) Side airbag
20) Curtain airbag
21) No airbags
22) Other: specify

Q5: Budget
These are Japan numbers converted to dollars so take with an extreme pinch of salt. You'll need to think about import + on the road costs etc.
Under $17,000
Up to $21,000
Up to $30,000
Over $30,000
Under $17,000
Up to $21,000

Last question was how many kids - sorry.
Rest of survey is what car you have at the moment, what you've had in the past and some odd questions about what governs you decision making regarding buying cars, i.e. new only, same as everyone else (!) etc.
I'm in bed with flu so going to lay back and get on with sweating and shaking now!
