WTF, No RX-8's in Miami??????

I spent 3 days in Miami and about 12 hours in total on south beach and didn't see not even one rx-8. What's going on? Was it just my bad luck or are they not popular (or good enough) for South Beach?

Some parts of the Day and some parts at night. I guess I was expecting to see many 8's and just had bad luck. Just wanted to make sure that the 8's or Mazda didn't have a bad rap in Miami for some reason or another.

Hell of a nice pic. Frame that one. With the shadeing it kind of looks like a cross breed between a RX7 & an RX8. Beautiful background of Miami/South Beach. Went on Lincoln rd. What a treat that street was for the music, food and women.

How long are you here for bro? There is an autox coming up on June 12th and a few of us RX8ers will be there. You can see a few 8s in action.

There are a fair share of RX-8s around here now. I'm seeing at least 1 each day now...max I've seen in one day is 5. That's a lot more than last year when it was more like 1 or 2 sightings a month.

Regardless, this car is nowhere near as common down here as its competitors are. But I don't mind the added attention.

I'm already back in the "big smoke" (Toronto, Canada). Too bad. Next time I go dow to Miami, I'll try to meet with a few of you there if its convenient for y'all.

In any event, glad to see there are just enough 8's there to indicate they don't have a bad rap and to give you guys you're due hightened level of attention.
