MAzda announced in August that the 2011 Mazda RX-8 would be the last of the series. The RX-8 comes in an entry level sports vehicle around $26,000, but a more driving enthusiest version upwards of $32,000. Standard sports colors of red, black, and silver to keep it as simple as using scholastic coupons.
The RX-8 was dropped from the European market last year. With the loss of that volume combined with the rising Yen, continuation of the RX-8 didn’t make for a good business case. The RX-8 was first shown in 2001 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and sales in North American began in 2004. Close to 200,000 have been sold around the world. Its predecessor was the RX-7 and, like it, is powered by a Wankel or rotary engine.
Mazda introduced rotary engine vehicles in the US in 1971, beginning with the RX-2, RX-3, RX-4, RX-5, and finally three generations of the RX-7 sports car. full review
