Is this a scam? I get some kind of internet search page. Beware; I wouldn't click anything on that page if I were you.

Page worked for me - it will be interesting to see what the figure will be after October with all the buy backs.

It's media.mazda.com , not mazda.media.com.


According to one sales report, it looks like they've only sold about
3,551 RX's in the US.

produccion was 6,121,domestic sales (japan) 1,302, rest of the world 4,683 so they are selling almost all rx-8 produced.

For July and August, they sold 3,551 8s in the US. Haven't seen any updated numbers for September, but as soon as I can find a recent Automotive News (half the people in my office fight over it, so it's hard to get right away) I'll post the Sept to date and year to date figures.

I thought buy back was small
I dont think it will effect sales too much

Anybody buy one of those 29 Millinea?

Now, 2200 x 12 is 26,400 estimate per year. Going to be a lot of them out there by next year :D

RX8-TX

These dorks are going to report the buy backs as sales!!!
:D

Sorry, a little cynism...

graphicguy

last I heard....buybacks were running about 2% of total U.S. sales of the affected cars. So, figure about 60 buybacks. Someone was trying to say it was 5%, but I talked to Mazda today (checking on my debit card) and they said it was still 2%.

Even if it was 5%, that's still only 150 cars. Not enough for Mazda to worry one iota about.

I'll bet that over the last 2 1/2 months the RX8 has been out (including the slow ramp up) that Mazda has sold 6,000 RX8s (includes Sept.).

Hmm, 6121 it says on www.mazda.com for august.
14433 jan-june, 8044 july and 6121 aug makes it
28598 RX8s born....

graphicguy

Sorry....I should have said "U.S. sales only".

I'm sure your numbers are correct worldwide, though.

No worries, seem like July was the best month for the RX8 so far,
8044 born that month. I wonder what the total will be for 2003?
4monthsx7000=28000 add 28598 my estimate is 56000.

Anyone have opinions about the apparent success of the RX-8 affecting rotary production? Will we see more rotory-powered vehicles hit the market? Will Ford allow Mazda to finally turn the world on its ear? I've waited so long for a 238hp 1.3L miata! I can almost taste it!!

Anyone know approximatly how much a crate renesis engine would run in a few years with more units sold/available??

mikeb

couldnt say
ascosta racing sold a renesis motor since they swapped in the 3 rotor in their 8

2105
isn't that under their benchmark

Elara

Don't be too worried. September is traditionally slow for ANY car dealer. And as many 8's as I've seen on the road all of a sudden in the past two weeks, they seem to be flying off the lots (at least here).

8_wannabe

Really? How many have you seen? Other than a rally we had with local owners, I still have seen only one '8 here in sunny San Diego.

RotaryX

Me!
One down, 28 confirmations to go

In the past week, I've seen two reds, a titanium, and a blue on the road. Prior to that I've seen a silver and a green (all of these are within a 5 mile square area around where I live). A friend saw a yellow yesterday morning, someone in a coworker's apartment complex has a silver, and the same lunch break I saw the titanium and blue, my coworkers (driving the same route BACK from lunch) saw a silver and a red. And these have all been within the same area of our city.

P00Man

in the past week ive seen 2 blacks and up untill then i hadnt seen any

and id love to see a renesis dropped into something like the miata, cause i heard the miata will never have something like the renesis in it, pretty sure some director of something said that

At day-time, in my work place area, I never see any RX-8. In Menlo Park, people drive Carrera GT-2 and Mercedes E55 AMG or S-600 (the sedan with the lb/hp ratio better than the Ferrari Enzo).

I got the thumbs up from a dude in his old BMW 540 though.. he must have been from out of town, like me :-|

There's another RX-8 in San Jose, because I saw him on the highway last Sunday. That's it.
