    Not here in the states, unfortunately. Pretty much every kid here thinks they're entitled to a V8 truck as soon as they learn how to drive.

    then I get it why you can't appreciate engine, that will save you couple hundred $ a year on insurance lol

    But I agree with Skinny... if it has to be a 1.3, it should better be a wankel

    I like the dimensions, but the front end is too contemporary.

    Im excited to see what the 1.3 turbo will kick out. It would be a shame for Mazda to all of a sudden break the tradition of the mx5 and drop a rotary in it

    One thing's for sure.....insurance rates should drop for this car because only a thief on crack would steal it.

    Well, I guess that's why they make vanilla and chocolate. I didn't buy a NA and I wouldn't buy a NC but I would trade my NB in on that one.

    The RX series isn't dead. Mazda said so themselves. Rotary production is on hiatus until which time as Mazda can develop a rotary engine that doesn't return 2mpg. They will be ending RX8 production after this year.

    I can't wait for the ND to come out. Then I might get an NC.

    Econemy sports car? Shmeeh... may as well be driving a prius at that point. I like my sports cars breathing fire and shredding rubber.
