Turns out I was close in predicting the starting point. The RX8 is looking more and more like a $35K Cdn. base vehicle...

To follow-up on my math skills. I originally thought that the RX-8 would be competing against the likes of the G35, that spwolf is drooling over 
. The current G35 sedan starts at just under $30k, the coupe will probably start in the low to mid 30's. If the RX-8 starts at under $25k, it will completely annihilate the segment. Just my thoughts as I was also looking at the G35 coupe.

Heh, I was drolling after G35 coupe, it is so much better looking than G35 sedan ;-)
They start at $28k (G35 coupe as well, it is a bit smaller actually), while Mazda might start at $26k at best plus with G35 coupe you get more torque and more HP... interesting

Yes, the coupe is definitely to drool for. I'd be surprised if the G35 coupe came in at the same price as the sedan. I don't think I've ever seen that in the US. Coupe versions are usually a $2k-$3k more than the sedan versions. We'll see.
Anyway, I priced a G35 sedan with the options I wanted and the price went into the mid 30's. This is with mostly "sport" options, i.e. suspension, wheels, spoilers, etc. Hopefully the RX-8 will come with most of the "sport" options as standard at below $30k. I know R&T said that a fully equipped version should be under $30k, but seeing is believing.

:D
-Standard wheel fitment will be P225/50VR17 tires up front with P235/50VR17 tires in the rear
-All models will include four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD), and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC).
-Beyond the basic power features, the Coupe includes a six-disc CD changer, telematics system, dual-stage front airbags, side airbags, and side curtain airbags
Question is... do you really need those 8 way leather seats and bose stereo for 4k? ;-)
