RX-8 hits 100,000

Eighteen months into production, Mazda has produced the 100,000th RX-8
at its plant in Japan. The rotary-powered RX-8 is sold in more than 20
countries, led by U.S. sales of 29,000 units at the end of August,
followed by Japan with 23,000.

Wow that is a lot more than I thought. Congratulations Mazda.
Way to go.

Thanks for the recognition.   So you know, I have ordered an RX-8 as well.  
Will take delivery in mid November if all goes right.  As much as I like my 
Mazda6 sportwagon, an RX-8 will be a nice change.

Welcome to the fraternity of world wide rotor heads Mark.
I expect you got a very good price.
