2 tone seats/interior - love it or hate it?
I can't quite get a handle on how the 2 tone interior will look? Will it look sporty or gaudy? I've never really cared for red or black leather interiors. I personnally like a lighter tan leather but that's not an option. I have mixed emotions on the 2 tone seats/interior. For those who have actually seen the red/black interior what do you think? For me, since I'll be getting a black or silver exterior it's either all black or black/red (I REALLY don't like the black/brown - it's more brown than tan - combo).

I love 2-tone interiors. I'm getting the red/black leather (with titanium gray exterior). A friend of mine had a Mercedes SLK with a charcoal/ecru (sort of a grayish white) interior, and it looked sharp (though the leather was of poor quality and didn't hold up well).

I saw both black/black and black/red. I was not impressed with the black on black. It looked plain. The red inserts give the interior more shape sportiness. I am going with the tan (Brown) inserts because i think it will look classy

When I saw the black/red interior that's what sold me on the RX-8 and the body also looks a heck of a lot better in person. I'm still undecided but the black/red interior is what has the idea still strongly hooked in my mind. So yeah the red/black looks awesome.

I love it, my wife hates it. She says it's very gaudy. So, I'll probably get cloth. It's two tone grey & black (my wife also feels it's stylish), and it's cheaper and lighter as well.

The first RX-8 pic I saw was the Yellow with Yellow/Black leather interior - stunning. Sadly I couldn't get that combination so went with Red/Black and Velocity Red exterior. I just cannot imagine getting this car with a plain black leather interior - too dark and claustrophobic.

The red interior is really sharp looking. It keeps an otherwise dark interior looking bright and sporty.
I also agree that the tan inserts give it a upscale look.

Yea, I think the 2-tone looks good, but could look better if they offered more color choices. I'm getting Winning Blue, but had no choice other than all black leather. I think blue inserts with the blue car would look awesome, but it doesn't exist... yet. Or a gray insert with black leather maybe. Maybe later Mazda will offer more interior color options. But I'm completely happy with black on black in the Winning Blue! I just wish it would get here!

I had the same thought too initially. I am gettin the blacke fabric and in the process giving up the two tone look. It's too hot here in the desert for leather.

Sorry, what I should have also stated in my earlier post, is that in that link I gave - shows more of a close up on the cloth seats with better detail of the different mix of fabric texture (from East Moon's RX-8) and Elara's shows the truer "black" color.
All in all, if you adjust (in your mind's eye- because my attempts in Photoshop didn't work) that the floor carpet is a rick black, than all of the other similar (grey looking) tones would really be black, too!

I Love the Red and Black interior along with my 16 year old son.
My wife hates it. Unfortunately, she will be the ultimate driver of the car so I have to go with her wishes.
She will drive the car in a year after her existing lease expires. I will have it for the first year:D
