[Kevint]

What Car have set a target price of £14,710 on the base model! If that is anything like true then Mazda will sell a bucket load:

Very interesting!!!

Makes a few year old FD RX-7 import look expensive (I know they are totally different animals) but a new rotary for £15,000!!!

Hotcakes!

Good find Kevin.

That looks more like a residual value after about three years, when you consider that Mazda won't even take a penny off list for pre-orders it makes me wonder?

The original link is dead, but back in January, What Car had £14,710 as the target price. Clearly they got it very wrong.
