Leather colour

Just wondering why are those ugly "****" colour/black leather is standard in the Titanium and Black colour?

Why cant we pick what we want for interior colour?

I really want a Black on Black..but all they have (according to the salesman and the book) is Black with Tan/Black leather...which looks really bad...

Also...all 2004 model sold out(well all got deposit) and they are asking for 4K nonrefundable deposit???

Where are you located? There are still several cars that are not allocated here in Ottawa (3 at Performance Mazda, Bank St Mazda also has some with no down ditto for Hull, don't know about the other dealer). Those that are allocated doesn't mean that they are sold, just that someone has put money down for first dibs. All deposits should be fully refundable and not exceed $1,000. If they are asking for more, walk away and go to another dealer.

BTW I reserve my judgement on Black/taupe until I see it in a car. How can you tell by looking at a 1" by 3 " strip glued to a book?

Black/tan...

That was my knee jerk reaction too until I saw an FB freshly painted in titanium grey and a taupe leather interior (original leather was burgandy). I must say that it definitely has potential. You really can't go by pictures.

At first, I didn't want tit grey because it is such a popular colour around here but after seeing this colour combo, winning blue had some serious competition.

yeah, i'm gonna say "see it for yourself" first, as colour neg film and bad lighting can really f*ck up browns pretty bad, especially with some digital photo editting before printing it... dont' get distressed yet.

I've searched for many pictures of the tan/black combo and I think I like it.

I think it will look really classy especially with titanium, I'm not sure about black though

I'm sure all the RX-8's won't be sold out, you'll find one if you really want one. Although it may not be in the colour/option choice that you want.

I'm still crossing my fingers that by june 2004, the RX-8 will be as easy to get as the Miata!
