Default RX-8 Buy back

not sure if any of you saw this but i was walking by the tv and heard something about RX-8 buy back. apparently they "goofed" and said it has 10 more hp than it really does. now they are buying them back from customers that are unhappy with the lower #.
first of all who would take a car back because it hase 10 less hp than u thought? secondly, if i were "mr. mazda" i would be like heres a check for $150, thats more than enough for a k&n, theres your 10hp back.
just thought it was interesting how they are buying them back, i remember toyota had to adjust their hp quote also when the new celica hit, also if i remember right Nissans spec V was off by about 10 also. damn over estimators, my car prob only has about 135 to the crank

i just heard about this not too long ago also, but seriously, if those 10hp's were enough to make you give your car back to mazda, that's just sad.
