Pour One Out For A Homie: Mazda RX8 To Die After 2011

[adminAF]

<div align="center">

The Mazda RX8 has led a rich, full life as one of the finest sports cars you can buy for under $40,000. Never the quickest car in a straight line, the RX8 was always a dominant car in autocross, and a good way to put a smile on your face when blasting down a back road.

The RX8 was slated to exit the European market this year anyways, officially due to stringent Euro V emissions standards, but slow sales in North America have hastened its exit from our shores as well. If you still want one, the R3 model, with various suspension bits, Recaro seats and fancy wheels is the one to get, but deep discounts are sure to be had on virtually all models. Picking up a newRX8 for the price of a Civic Si is a realistic prospect depending on where you live.

In the mean time, speculation continues on what Mazda's newest rotary project will be. We're keeping our fingers crossed for an all-new RX7.

Thanks. Looks great!! BUT we really like the usable back seats and the affordability.

I heard they will keep the back seats but with only 2 doors for this generation..could be a rumor but I guess time will tell. and in regards to affordability, I bet they will be priced well bcuz Mazda knows they will have to be priced fairly in order to compete in the sport coupe market~
