2011 Last Rx8
I was at the auto show here in tiny Tulsa today. I was speaking with the rep from Mazda North America, he said that 2011 will be the last year for the Rx8. He also said we should expect to see a 2 seater Rx7 by 2013 for around 27k. He wouldn't give me any other details than that. I haven't been able to verify anything online, but I wanted to post what I was told.

Great to hear, I hope it's true. But unless that person was a legitimate "higher up" its still unsubstantiated.
I did see a new mazda commercial that aired during the 12 hours of Sebring coverage. It was ALL footage of the speedsource rx8 at Daytona and, interestingly, the announcer almost bizzarely stressed "performance and RELIABILITY" in his voice. Heh yes the footage was from a 4 hour motor race, but maybe they're trying to make a point....

honestly.... with all the engineering and modifications that was put into the S2's I highly doubt that the product run would only last 3 years, just seems to costly of a move for such a short production run.
