Check out the price we are paying here (AU OZ) for it $64K!!, expensive bloody watch!
This car should be $49k MAX....

Good on you Mazda Australia..

I could fly to Japan, buy one for $33k(AU), ship it ($5k), tax/customs ($10K), and still be in front...only thing is it would not comply with ADR (Australian Design Rules), and I might have a problem with new car warranty, then there is the new parts problem...BUGGA! BUGGA!! BUGGA!!!
Well, at least you folks in Australia are going to get a turbo Mazdaspeed 8.

WE ARE??? Where did you hear that from????

I Agree with Zoom44...WE ARE NOT...

If you guys don't have it (Factory Japan Made) I don't think Australia will.

hehehe not happening
I would love to see a motor similar too or the exact Renesis put out around that power(without FI) I think it's possibly but thats just me. Everyone seems to think we don't have 238hp..we do. I don't think it's possibly to argue over 225 compared to 238, also after the cat converter episode when the car came out I'm sure Mazda got the hp right. Anyone else notice the 8 has one more hp than the S2000? I knew I felt a power diffrence in the cars That orange-ish color does look good
