Mazda RX-8 - Steve S
I read that this is expected in the UK in June.

Must say it looks very interesting at a time when too many cars look alike. I've never really been a Jap car enthusiast (style wise) although the engineering is obviously chart topping. This could be the one that changes it.

Is it already available outside the UK? If so, has anyone seen it on the road or even tried it?

I hope HJ is on the list to get his mits on one when they arrive.

Hi Steve - there's some feedback on the RX8 on a thread I started a while back (17th Jan was the last post I think) you might be interested to read it if you haven't already. Seriously nice car for the ££'s I think - and room in the back for 2 big adults unlike the Celica !

Found it VM, thanks.

I agree with one of the posts that says it looks great in yellow (not many cars do IMO) and that 250bhp figure sounded quite interesting too!

Almost sounds too good to be true doesn't it Steve but HJ's theory about price competition against VW/Audi makes sense to me and long may it continue!
