Pricing Bulletin - 2006 RX-8 and "SHINKA" Special Edition
Effective Monday, February 6, 2006, Mazda is pleased to announce pricing and product information for the 2006 RX-8 and "SHINKA" Special Edition.
We are extremely excited to introduce an all-new 6-speed Sport AT automatic transmission with an upgraded 212 HP six-port engine with an increase of 15 HP above last year's 197 HP 4AT. Customers will be especially pleased with the improved drivability of this vehicle. Additionally, the Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry System is added to the Grand Touring package.
Just got this from Mazda. ....The 4 ports have been troublesome...the six ports have not. A lot of their problem is the American public does not like a car that uses oil, so Mazda decided not to inject any (way not enough anyway) on the automatics (which are all 4 ports) since they were not expected to be run hard and mostly purchased by women. I hope in 06 they start squirting some more oil in them.....
