Where is the the black fabric??? I don't like leather, give me cloth. Maybe black is for both the leather and cloth?

Is this the main colour? What about the insert colours?

So a "black" insert would appear totally black on the black seat. Just think of the entire diagram as insert colors. I don't think however, you will get colored inserts on cloth.

Thanks for the update - so black with red inserts for me I think.

What exterior goes better with that - red or titanium grey?

I thought we weren't getting the snowflake white pearl?

Don't know for sure...

Let's wait until tomorrow when we can figure out what's on the online configuation tool on the Mazda site.

My insurance agent (State Farm) told me that's a myth. My insurance was the same no matter what color car I bought.

After seeing the cars in person tonight, I didn't think the red leather matched the red mica car. The red of the car is far brighter than the leather. So the leather looked dull.

The red will probably look better in a black car.

black RX-8 w/ black/red interior would look stunning

but I've always loved blue (see sig :D), how dark/bright is the 'winning blue' on the RX-8?

Winning blue is like the blue that comes out of a bic pen. F*&^ing bright man.

I wonder if the black will make it hard to see the curves of the sheetmetal. I'm thinking about Titanium grey with red leather for that reason.
