Shnifty, how did you get the vehicle to display "shnifty"? I didn't know that could be adjusted. That's pretty cool

Anyone have a pitcure of the RX8 magazine ad w/the word find that had "sweedishtwins" above the rx8?

I have wondered if Mazda would even bother to continue to sell the RX-8 if it weren't for racing requirements so they can race in series such as the Grand-Am Rolex series, not to mention the people who race "real" RX-8s in more grassroots racing series. They probably still would, as it is a bit of a halo car for Mazda, being their only rotary powered car, but I'm not sure.
Regardless, the scarcity of RX-8s on the road (at least here in Michigan) is one of the many reasons I chose the RX-8. I see many times as many C6 Corvettes on the road as I do RX-8s, and the reactions I get from strangers on the road when I'm driving my RX-8 are priceless. I've seen kids go nuts in the backs of their parents' minivans and SUVs, bicycle riders will frequently stare at my car as I go by in the other direction, and people will routinely ask me about the car or its funky "Sparkling Black Mica" paint job, comment on my license plate ("WANKEL"), and tell me how cool my car is at traffic lights. Not only is this car a hoot to drive, but it sure seems to have a high "cool" factor! |
I have never seen a mazda commercial.
There are always commercials for honda, acura, ford, gm. mazda probably just lacks the technology. But look at how overexposed rx8 is already in many markets. I have not washed the car in 6 months, just trying to stay hidden and not so obvious! Not another rx8! A billion out there now in the favorite "me too me too" configuration: no spoiler, auto, stock mouse exhaust, overweight female driver, who think they are being unique by getting white or black. Starting to become cheesy like the ipod. |

We only see a lot of RX-8's because we look for them. 90% of my friends think my car is some sort of rarity; they don't know what it is and they think that's awesome. The 10% of my friends who know what RX-8's are appreciate that it's a good looking sports car that they don't often see. So it really depends on your area, and whose eyes you are looking through. |
I dunno if its true or not, but according to wikipedia, 2010 is the last year for rx8 in canada and the u.s. so we're about to get more rare
