I might be wrong but, I'm sure Mazda are not allowing any testing of the car prior to the official press launch.
The STIG will just have to make his way to North Wales.
Also, I have a friend who lives in North Wales (poor chap) and he called over the weekend to say that he (thought) he saw a couple of RX8's on the road. (grey and red)
He said they were stunning!

I actually prefer the darker colour - I think it looks classy and restrained.

The 'outside' blood red is the better colour and my initial instinctive choice but for rthe fact that; a) it turns orange at the slighest hint of sunlight and b) I drive and park in London.
Did anyone else hear the word 'tackie' mentioned in discussion of the interior red/ black colour combination? :D

The word "tacky" was not mentioned. The fact is that he didn't say much but what he liked was the doors.
"brilliant, we like these here at topgear".
Let's hope when they get to drive it they like it. All things considered, I can't see any reason why they won't love it.
