Release date hint?
This is an excerpt from a mazda press release concerning the RX-8 thats in X-Men 2.
"Mazda Motor Corporation and Twentieth Century Fox are teaming up on the production, which will premiere on May 2, 2003 – just months before the RX-8 sports car is expected to hit Mazda showrooms across the country."
http://www.mazdausa.com/rx8/news/articles/XMen2.pdf
So is this a hint we may be looking at a mid/late summer release?

I hate to say it, but I'd also kinda prefer a summer release date- we've got to get a house by May, and I cannot think of anyway I can do both at the same time- June would be a PERFECT release date for me.

I was hoping for an earlier release in mid-April. The quote above mentions "just months" which may mean pushing out to July or August.
I am wondering why it is taking so long to bring this car to market?

I was going to buy the 8 in Aug/Sept - which I thought would be 5-6 months after it went on sale and all the hype (i.e. waiting lists and inflated prices) was over. Looks like I may have to join a waiting list after all and pay MSRP at this rate.

Mazda's killin' me. The more these rumors fly around, and the more the release date is pushed back, the more I'm finding myself looking at, and considering, other cars.
Mazda, if you're listening give us all something more concrete than rumors to rely on.

counting down: 8 months to go ...
I hope my 1990 probe will last that long without anything major problems.
I was also hoping to wait a little bit of time so I could try to get it under MSRP too ...

Long story short, I think Mazda needs to delay the RX-8, oh, about 4 more years until I can pay for the repairs to my current car. Either that, or tell Mazda dealers to give ridiculously high trade-in values for 93 Asuna's. [/BITTER]

We'll see!

My rear tires are bald, new ones at the same time as all the above go on. In doing so, they notice my rear brakes are shot... and my muffler has a hole... need I go on?
