hi there

my brother in law who is a mazda salesman told me last weekend that there will be a special edition rx-8 along the lines of the mx-5 special edition models around the end of the year. it will have beige leather seating and will have the sunroof.

i think the price will be a few thousand more than the leather pack.

cheers

Rather old news mate, was posted months ago on the overseas forums
Check it out here:

never heard of this for the Australian public plus a sunroof.. I was told about the sunroof though :D

 

It looks great, but good luck trying to keep the interior clean.

 

Good news :D

No thanks. Beige

 

yea man..no stank you

 

"A colourful exterior cannot mask a beige personality" LOL

 

Sunroof would be good

beige = ugg!

Unfortunately no more car expenditure for me so sunroof will have to wait.

 

.....until an aftermarket company can make one to fit the RX8's unique roof line profile.

 

yeah, y tf does mazda do this.....give you a limited edition ...sunroof ....then beige ....why cant they just be normal.....its like you can 97% of an attainable 100% (o/s models) then when you request something they dont give you 100% but 97% in a different form.... i dont kno....must come down to a certain "marketing/cost cutting/most profit/ keep every one happy not just young male thing" issue, which i cant figure

but never the less sunroof is good, what about ext. colour...??

 

Eh, check my link I posted second from the top mate.

 

We won't be seeing that thing here. It's a shocker, let the Yanks keep it. Mazda Australia won't be able to sell it, so it won't come.

 

doesnt look too bad actually. the light colour interior goes pretty well with dark exterior....

lucky i saw the pics...... now dark purple is out of the question

e

 

I know a guy in the trade who refers to that interior colour as "90 day beige"......any car with that colour will sit on the lot for ninety days! That's one reason it won't land here, it would be too hard to move that stock.

I can't recall a car with that interior since the Ford LTD of 1976 . Errrk, chrome inserts in the headrests ferchristsakes...[shiver]

Gomez :D .

 

You just hate dead cow Gomez...... whether it be black, red or beige.

BTW, I agree with the "90 day beige" since after that time, you'll be left with a light brown interior.

 

It WAS hard, but I didn't say the L word The ONLY feature I'd want off that car on mine would be the suspension changes. I reckon my car could be tightened up 10 percent...maybe.

Apologies. I'm very judgemental, I know. I got 100 percent for judgement when I did the Briggs-Meyer test :o . Made my jury service easy!

I hate chrome, too. :D . It's okay on old Mustangs.....

 

Easy to rectify that one Gomez.... just change your springs.

 

We will be recieving our limited edition RX-8 late Dec early Jan..its already sold too ! ...by the way the colour is amazing in real life..we also have a Mazda 6 in that colour .....

Errk, I pray you speaketh in jest, young Daz.....though this is not something that youngsters should josh about

 

Can't decide whether I love it or hate it... that interior... hmmm... can see the coffee stains, etc now...

 

Daz, I'd love to think I played a part in killing off the importation of this thing, as I think it will devalue the brand. People are going to laugh at this pimp-mobile. I have started a poll...Vote Here.

Gomez.

 

so is this new special edition at the end of this year 2004 or the end of the next year of 2005??? Just curious cause I would definately like to buy one of those and custom change up the color of the seats.

 

Mate, this is the Aussie forum....you'll also want a LHD version .

 

Hey Gomez

I particulary dont like beige interiors ether..you only have to look at them and they get dirty. I was most unhappy when I couldn't get a black interior for my mazda 6 wagon,you can only buy them in the classic version which is grey.
I just hope they bring out Radiant Ebony as an option for the RX8 as it is a very nice colour.

Regards Daz

 

yeah the sunroof one is coming. 2 months ago Hot4s was talking photo of Team ELITE and two people that are from Mazda Australia told me the sunrooof 8 are coming end of this year. which is soon
