I would love to get one too.
I heard from my dealer that they have a waiting list already and that the price will be gouged at least 2-5K over sticker.
I will be waiting a while for the price gouging to stop and to see if they release a high performance Mazdaspeed model.
Mazda wants to race the RX-8's in the speedvision touring car class but the Tri-Point guys are telling Mazda they need more HP to be competetive.
I hope Mazda steps up to the challenge.

After that? Something is going to happen to the Millennia...some say it will be getting a name change, but the car will be the same. Others say the Millennia is going to be dropped due to poor sales.
AS FOR THE RX-8? Don't hold your breath. The RX-8 isn't going to be shipped until the fall/winter of 2003. Don't expect to see them at the dealer until 2004.

Based on a conversation with a Mazda NAO Gulf Coast region director. We will be seeing them no later than March/May across the nation, the Mazda 6's will be out sooner than that with the regular 4 door out first, the hatch in the late summer and wagon soon after that.
The Millenia on the other hand is dead, the Mazda 6 will replace both the 626 and the Millenia in the lineup officially.
And Yes, there will be a Mazdaspeed RX-8, however will it be turbo or not....that is the question.
hope this helps.

I think you guys are going a little far in calling it a "family car". Would you call an M5 a family car just because it has 4 doors? It's supposed to be a sport sedan with emphasis on sport. It's not an "FE".

it's been said a million times before... just wait til you see it before you judge... every person I have spoke with that was a nay-sayer.. had a completely different perspective after seeing it...
The size difference betwen the RX-8 and the RX-7 are very slight... less than less than 10cm in any direction... 50/50 weight dist. remains a comparable power to weight ratio to the former RX-7, although not heavily laden with 4 people. I must say the only extra people I expect to haul in the back are my lil bro's or my lil one one day.

I was at
at Mazda dealer this weekend (Anaheim), and the general consensus was late next year delivery of the RX-8
but they had my radiator cap in stock!
and 3 FD's in the service bays!
