Are you keeping your RX-8?
I sent my letter today, I'm keeping the car.
I was interested in how many of us (who own the car) are planning to keep vs return.

Only thing that is going to make me return it is, loss of job in the next 3 weeks.

Lets face it: we'd rather have the job than the 9 horsepower, right?

I sent my letter in today - there's never been any question that I'm keeping it! I also need to get my first free service in the next 2 weeks or so - I'm at 7950 km right now!

I'm most likey going to keep mine.
But they offer us only $500. When they messed up with the miata, they offered them more then that. So today i'm going to call mazda canada and say
4% of $40,000 is $1600. Thats what we should get

Thanks for the clarification Gord. I think i'll be happy with the $500 and free service then

I'm keeping mine too! Sent the letter this morning. The loss of HP (officially) has not ruined my enjoyment of the car (or the looks I get etc ...) I hope to have this baby for a loooooong time.

Guess I should change my vote. I fully intended keeping mine, and I'm going to hate to see it go, but having been given three weeks' notice on Friday, I think I may need to take Mazda's golden parachute.

Well the poll says "10" returning but I voted to keep mine (can't change it now), voted too early I guess.
I know of 7 in Canada returning now.
Once Oct 1st is past I'll post another poll, let's find out how many REALLY did return it.
