Yup, but I saw it going down the road and did not have a chance to get a pic. That was first one I saw in Cincinnati. Here is one at import day at my local track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXGkO4_8YrQ

i think it was a stupid move for them to sell them here in USA now there going to be like honda luxury cars lol
Except they're 10 times better than a Honda.

well of course.
I saw one over the summer in Delaware on my way to Ocean City, MD. I saw him go past on the other side of the road and then he u-turned and we were pretty much together all the way to OC.

I sat in one of two at the local dealership yesterday. After revving the engine a few times and playing with the touch screen display I just stood there staring at it for about an hour, running numbers in my head to see if I could afford it. I'm glad I convinced myself I can't.
As far as the American ones being slow, that problem is easily fixed (not to mention they're way faster than any of our Mazda's anyway). Cobb Tuning sells an AccessPort for them for $995. With just the AP and an exhaust they were getting gains of 70hp and 90 lbft at the wheels.

If you want to see them up close and personal. Take as many pix as you want. Talk to the owners and ask them questions...... Wake up EARLY and go here.....

I go there every month. The Porsche on the flyer belongs to the one in charge of this event (Ricky) really nice guy! If you want to drool over all the cars there (Porsche, Lambo, Lotus, Austin, Ferrari, Mercedez, Skyline, Audi R8, etc etc....) All kinds of exotics and rare cars... Old and New....) take a drive to Lake Mary...

those things are awesome till you try to have fun with it...
then they check the "black box" and say "**** you, your warranty is voided..."
fyi, a tranny for those is $20K...

They're $22k, and you can get around the 'black box'
If you leave the keys in the car for something like two days it resets the box
