Any word on a new model coming out for 2005?

 

dear god, man, do a search for crying out loud.

 

what do you think this forum is a method of? Web searches generally show the current 2004 model as the 04-05 model, but I have spoken to dealerships in which they say that Mazda was discussing coming out with a convertable and/or a Turbo for thr 05' release. Hence my question!

 

those dealerships lied - no real changes to the rx-8 besides the addition of white color, and the removal of yellow.

If there was to be a convertable, you'd see a ton of threads about it here.

 

I think -8- was refering to searching on the forum, not the web. There are hundreds of threads on this subject and a few of the senior members are a little annoyed about newbies posting without even try a search first. Just a word of advice. Doing this will often result in a flame war.... On a positive note, welcome to the board! :D

 

Good enough, that's all I was asking.

 

i would really like to throttle these dealership guys!!

 

Hey, by the name of that new white, it sounds like a pearl-white. If it'll be like the 3000GT pearl-white, that'll be a definite winner. And Mazda got that idea from me when I posted many moons ago that it should be a new color that they should come out with. Me, me, me!!! My idea! :D I oughta demand royalties...

 

Dealership sales guys in my opinion haven't known a whole hell of a lot from I have seen, so I thought I would join and ask quickly. It's already the end of June and I was trying to decide if I should consider waiting for a new release or not. Asked and answered-Thanks

 

Depends on your priorities, my dealership has a sh!tload of RX-8's all lined-up out-front. They'll have to all go. Smells like money saved to me, if you don't mind buying a new car at the end of the model year. If you do, now is the time to get talking with your salesperson about the 05 models. I don't know if there's a pre-order on the 05 models. If there is, you'll probably want to know.

 

I agree my dealer was somewhat knowledgable but from what I have learned from these forums, sales/dealerships would improve there relationships with both existing and new buyers if they even took a few minutes to get familiar with the Rx8 Community. I have to go pick up my license plates when I go to the dealer, I was going to share with my sales guy about this forum, I would have been much better served if I would have had a very knowledgable sales person.

 

Took mine to have the old changed today, the service lady wanted to know what year it was ???????????
