I don't even know if there is an official number out. I figure if the R3 was selling like hot cakes, they would make more...

The 8 isnt a complete failure like the crossfire so that probably will not happen.

Sorry bud, I did an extensive search and couldnt come up with an exact number, however, numerous sources stated it was limited production. Since there is no exact number released, more than likely the salesman are stroking you with whatever number theyre saying.

CyberPitz 11-17-2008 04:45 PM

They are probably trying to make it sound ultra rare so you'll WANT to jump on the price, making you think you'll be able to sell it for more later on!

That's a concept, an 8 selling for more than 15k :lol2:

SiLVeRE8 11-17-2008 05:00 PM

just get one before they are gone!

Perhaps your ? was a mistype, but NONE of the R3s are made 'here in the USA'. They are all true 100% "Made in Japan" cars, which makes them all the more coveted.

How would a salesperson know how many Mazda is going to make? How old are you, Jaggerbomb? And why did you lie about owning a mortgage company. What is up with you? Are you crazy in the head?

Potentiated 11-17-2008 09:13 PM

Why did you start two threads regarding this very very stupid question?

While assembly has always been and always will be 100% Japan, according to the '09 window sticker, the parts content itself is about 95% Japanese, and the remaining 5% (unspecified) is probably made up of components from the Ford USA/Europe parts bin.

According the the Dec. 08 issue of Car and Driver, I think there were fewer than 2600 RX-8s sold in the US through the end of August. That was before all this financial shit really hit the fan, so I would expect 2008 calendar year sales (obviously a mix of MY08 and MY09) to finish well below 4000.

Which means overall worldwide sales probably below 10,000 units. And the R3 might make up, what, 10-15% of that mix?

So if I had to guess (and I am guessing), I'd say no more than 1000 R3s worldwide for the 2009 model year.

For the 2010 model year, those figures could even be less if these economic conditions don't stabilize or, God forbid, deteriorate even further.

Either way, you're probably more likely to randomly see a Ferrari in any given place than an R3. Certainly more exclusive than a Porsche, especially a Boxster/Cayman.

Who wants a uglier looking RX8 and that is slower and take longer to stop?

That's the R3

OldCodger 11-24-2008 04:19 PM

Check with the RecaroŽ salesman. Only he knows for sure.
