there are rumours that nissan will bring the Z here! that is its direct competitor... both performance and price wise... and also the S2000 should Honda officially bring it here (which they should have done even through indent order).
the Z4 is also a competitor, although pang medyo richie rich na yan...

September 2nd, 2003 11:38 AM #33i heard rumors that the Z will come close to the 3M mark (i'm talking nissan here and not bmw!)! if that's the case, the rx8 will be the best-value sports car around.
fuel consumption is not too high considering the hp out put. its rated at 10km/l for the detuned manual and 9 for the full sport.

i sure hope they bring the RX8 here, and price it within the P2M (or, hopefully, much less range.)

September 2nd, 2003 06:57 PM #35It definitely would cost around 2.2 to 2.3M as it belongs in the P112,000 and 40% of amount in excess of 1.1M bracket. I would use the US SRP of $30,000, as this is the price that gray market importers would be using to compute for taxes. And don't forget to add 10% VAT. Official dealers' prices are never lower than gray market importers. Let's just pray the official dealers wouldn't grow horns and tails when the law takes effect, I fear dealers would think there would be a lot of buyers willing to pay even if they overpriced the rx-8 to 3m for because it should've cost 4m under the old system and buyers already saved a lot of money. The more people who know how to compute for taxes, the better.

yes, currently we're under the engine displacement based taxation scheme. But the new value-based scheme takes effect sometime mid-october. Its a good thing you brought this up, because one could actually save about a hundred thousand bucks if you import an 1300cc RX-8 under the old engine displacement based scheme. You can have this beauty for around 2.1M.

i think you might be referring to the rx-7, which has a twin-turbo rotary that can easily be modded to 600+ hp. the rx-8 is an NA rotary making about 250 hp, and not quite as easily modded....although i suppose the aftermarket will develop turbo kits for it soon...
design of the new range of mazda. i think mazda 6 competitor will be the euro accord and new camry (V6 variants).
bebe eksa, saan kayo nagchuchurch???
