I recently saw one at a car show here in town (Calgary) and I thought it was rather attractive. The color was really slick and the interior very nice (maybe a little to "light" for my taste).

Correct me if I'm wrong (which I have no doubt someone will do) but doesn't the GT, and maybe others, come with #1 and #2?

With all the chrome touches I thought the dark chrome wheels would have been a natural.

Not a huge fan. The car looks great when it is clean and the light is right.

Maybe they should just improve the 8 all together. Just a thought.

The difference is very, very small. It's the silver horizontal things inside the lights. Silver on 8, chrome on Shinka.

I like the color. Looks really nice, "right" light or not. Obviously just a personal preference thing....

just got a shinka on the 10th of this month....yep, its a special edition and I think there is a lot of special stuff on it......the color on the mazda web is not the actual color....its a black cherry and doesnt resemble purple at all.....it appears to be mostly black but in the sun, the cherry is most evident....its a beautiful color....

>Dynamic Statability Control and Tranction Control System

Both standard on European cars anyway.

shinka213 - can you take some closeup pics of the front and rear lights so we can see what the chrome bezzles are?
