04 mazda rx8 1.3 rotary engine. auto w/paddle shifters, leather, sunroof. front aftermarket bumper/ side skirts. lowered 2 inches in the front, 20 inch wheels with very good tread on the tires. navi, flip out dvd with aux input. 105000 miles. only mechanical problem I've ever had with this car was the alternator. Was fixed with OEM alternator. Bad things: the big wheels screwed up a traction sensor. I've driven the car at least 40k miles with this "problem" and there is no issue beside TCS is stuck on, and 2 lights on the gauges are on. The left headlight needs to be replaced because of moisture issues. That is the reason for the obo. the high beam and running lights work great in the headlight, but the low beam hid works ever so often. the car's paint is far from perfect, but it is an older car. The window tint was bubbling and it made it hard to see clearly, so I removed the tint, but it would not completely come off of the rear window. I recommend getting familiar with rotary engines before considering this car, because they are tricky sometimes. This car's "good" blue book value is around $6800, so even with the buy it now price, you're still getting a good deal. Over the past 5 1/2 years of owning this car, I've have babied it. I've changed the oil every 3000 miles on the nose, and ran nothing but premium fuel through it. The car sits really low, so you have to drive with care. I bought the car from a dealership, and I believe I am the second owner. I have never had a wreck in the car, (knock on wood). I do not want to get rid of this car, but I bought a new truck, and no use in paying insurance on it if it is just sitting in the garage. Email me with questions.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?

Sat, Mar 26 2016

High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.

Takashi Yamanouchi to retire as Mazda chairman

Mon, 12 May 2014

Takashi Yamanouchi has been with Mazda for a long time. He signed on with the Japanese automaker in April 1967 - one month after graduating from Keio University - and rose through the ranks over the years. By 1996 he was named to the company's board of directors. In 2008 he was named president and CEO, an office he held until 2013, after which he handed over the day-to-day reins to Masamichi Kogai and took up the seat at the head of the board room to serve as the company's chairman. But now, after 47 years working for Mazda, Yamanouchi-san is retiring at the age of 69.
During his tenure as CEO and then as chairman, Yamanouchi was credited with growing Mazda's business despite unfavorable fluctuations in exchange rates, opening the company's first plant in Mexico, and spearheading the development of Mazda's Skyactiv technologies and Kodo design language.
In his place, current vice chairman Seita Kanai will take over as chairman. The changing of the guard will take place after the annual shareholders' meeting on June 24.
