It's out ...

wow...new colors. Last I checked, nobody was complaining about the lack of colors.

 

I'm not impressed.

 

All I have to say is the Whitewater pearl is the same darn color that we have been seeing each year. I was driving by the local Mazda dealership today(San Bernardino) and noticed that they had a what seemed to be fully loaded RX-8 so i thought i would stop to see what year it was and how much. When i saw up on the top that it was an 07 i was in shock and went inside the dealership to see if they had any of the Stormy Blues in. Nah, the only one they got in was the white one. Oh well.

 

Same here ^

 

That standard 6-disc changer should make us go a lot faster, you guys should be excited!

 

So what's the diff between the whites?

 

If you put techno and Heavy Metal in the changer I heard you get like 10-15 hp's

 

This can't be true. According to 80% of the members on this site the RX-8 was being discontinued. Who would have thought, another year of production.

 

the name

 

*sigh*

The RX7 FC had two updates after just 2 years (went from S4 to S5 and gained 20HP in N/A and Turbo trim), and the FD saw numerous updates (from the original S1 to the final S8 version), both in exterior/interior and in mechanical/engine. And if you knew how, you could "update" your own older model as well (except the N/A FC).

And here we are, almost 4 years after it's initial release, and we get what ? 2 new colors and a new 6AT (which means diddly squat, since the 4AT sucked hairy monkey *****).

whoppdy doo

 

Nice. I wish they'd give it a "real" oil pressure gauge, but all in all… nice. Especially considering how I kept reading there'd be no 2006, let alone a 2007.

 

Yeah and I thought Mazda read this forum? Don't you think they would get the hint that new colors aren't going to cut it? I mean come on now 2 years and counting how long does it really take to do R&D on an upgraded version of the 8, not just color change and some more bells and wistles?

 

Yeah and that too!

 

You sure? I kknow whitewater pearl and snow flake pearl are the same but why would mazda advertise chrystal white pearl as a new colour if it's basically the same as the former 2?

 

me when i posted the specs and changes 4 months ago

 

I must say new colors, WOW that's it... It would be nice to have a coolant and oil temp gauges reflecting real temps. Also, they could have updated the car to show your mpg, miles left ect... NO HP gains... I am happy that the RX-8 will live on for another production year but Mazda will need to make some bigger changes in 2008 to keep sales going..

 

Guys, I wanted to make an official press release announcement that I changed my shirt and took a crap.

That is all.

 

Oh schnap. No more Shinka?? Wonder if any model year only colors like Black Cherry and Copper Red anymore. Interesting....

Time

 

Hey Zoom tell Mazda they suck! Hahahha

 

because they don't have a clue about what to do with this car...

 

Sadly, I think it's pretty obvious that is the point. They are just letting the car fade away with minimal changes. The R&D budget is going to other Mazda cars.

 

I don't get the huge surprise and disappointment over the lack of changes for 2007. I mean, the information for 2007 models have been available on this forum for only about 4 months, and it was even a sticky!

For what it's worth, Crystal White is different from Whitewater Pearl.

 

EXACTLY!

 

i can't contain my excitement for the 2007 model year.
