After I saw it I changed my mind :\

It was too light. If it was like the X Men car, I would have been all over it!

wow, i've seen this guy review cars before, and although he's usually reserved and fairly objective in giving praise where it's due, he really freakin' loves this car... wow... i'm definitely impressed by this.

That gives us who preordered the car great news. Especially for an investment that we don't even have the final specs for.

I guess we are in for a real treat! :D

I'm just the opposite - the more I see of that blue, the more I like it.

Question

Is this color cloth seats offered on all RX-8. I would like to have this color instead of black cloth. Is this color offered?

What are those thingys?

I think someone brought this up a long long time ago, but what are those little rectangles under each headlight? I think someone said pop up headlight washers so something. Anything have a clue?

You are right, they are "pissers." As you can see in the picture of the black car, check out the large blacked out front plate, this is a euro spec car. As far as I know the US spec car does not have the pissers as an option.

Yes, it's a euro-spec car. It comes with headlight washers, fog lights and clear side indicators as standard.

That is one of the few good pics I have seen of the black version. I wasn't sure how much I liked black, but now that I see that pic I understand why herc piced that color.

I also just saw this.
And if you ever tire of just driving your RX-8 and listening to the hum of the rotors, the car comes with a Bose sound system of amazingly high quality. Regardless of your musical tastes, sound quality is just about as good as it gets and it would take another feature to describe exactly how Bose achieved this. Let's just say it's state-of-the-art in sports car music reproduction. Mazda worked with Bose right from the design stage to bring RX-8 buyers the best possible stereo system.
That is good news for those concerned about sound quality.
