Interesting...I hope mazda tells everyone at sevenstock that the mazdaspeed rx-8 is going to happen in america...I would trade my '05 in...and give my right ******** to have a MS8

The car under the cover doesn't have an RX-8 shape or what I would consider the shape of a sports car. It looks more like a small sedan. Something closer to a Protege in shape.

I read the Mazdausa site, are they definately not putting a rotary in this or are they still on the fence about it?

If they produced it, it would certainly be piston powered. Mazda would need a business case to develope it with a rotary. Thats why most agree, included a more expensive option for those that want it.

Well, I hope they do include and option for rotary, then i'd buy the car, but not with a piston engine in it. Just being a rotorhead.

I believe it's the Mazdaspeed kit on the Eight.

I have seen the commercial several times.

Don't you think there is some significance for the illistration on the wall? It is the only picture in the commercial. Dosn't it resemble the shape of the car completely covered?
Sorry about the poor quality of the video. I don't have another way to do it. I tried to copy to a video dvd recorder, but the computer doesn't see the disk.
The race is being rebroadcast on Wednsday at 10 AM (EST). Maybe the commercial will be replayed. Set you VCR/DVR.

i agree with razzz, maybe we are all looking too into this... if its a real mazdaspeed rx8, that would be awesome... then i would just have to trade in my car as well... but i find it doubtful..
