Damn, no vented hood. It looks pretty good minus the wing.

Everyone notice that it has the grey cloth seats in the rear with the red recaro's up front? I kind of like it. As for the exterior, I loved the new front end, but not the spoiler. I also did not like the rear wing. The wheels are gorgeous though, and the brakes look slotted. :D

About grey cloth seats, does anyone any pics of Rx-8 with Black Leather or Black Fabric seats ?

Front bumper looks great, but the sideskirts doesn't really match

are there more pics of that auto show?
