Who knows about the plant in Hiroshima? My Rx8 says it is made in Japan. Exactly what parts are made there and what parts made in US? I have a serious issue regarding gears/trans/clutch. If you can believe this, an alleged brand new 07 rx8 GT performance pkg, has a major mechanical breakdown on day 70 of ownership less than 5000km!!!! I believe i was sold a defective clutch. I was cut off on the hwy, was in 6th had to gear down as fast as humanly possible,when the clutch pedal stuck right to the floor, and stayed there, i lost control of everything.dealership was not surprised or showed any empathy.I wanna know where the part came from.and if it is factory or dealer that is gonna be responsible for my new custom RX8?
