XracerRX-8,

Thanks for the great photos. After looking at them, I think I'd prefer cloth seats.

Can somebody Photoshop pic #2 by adding the front license plate?

Looks pretty sweet in black. I like the interior and the spoiler too.

Hey, thank you XracerRX-8. I'm surprised they decided to display an auto version. And with the sport package and add-on bits. I might try to get over there next weekend, if I have the time.

I sure wish I could sit in it though...

Looks like the exact same black one that was in Detroit -- except they let us sit in it there :D

There's a chance that is the same optional aluminum fuel-filler door that is avaiable for the Mazda6. (Choice of Chrome or Satin finish) Price: $100.00:eek:

Yeah, i was there on Sunday, I got some pics as well.... I asked the guys if they would let me sit in it but they said that due to the fact that people have been stealling stuff off of the car, mazda told them to not let anybody sit in it by ANY means.

Thats for all the support people.

I think thats BS. although i did see a missing shift knob. but i dont care the should have let us sit in it...just like they should have let us sit in the evo8.

companies take the shift knobs off the cars so people won't steal them when they sit in them at the shows. the fact that the knob was gone doesn't suggest that it was stolen, on the contrary, it suggests that they were letting some visitors to sit in the car.

Went and saw that car in MN 2 days ago. First time I saw it in person.

What a sweet car!

My wife even said, "Honey, that's a beautiful car. You have to get one."

YES!!!!:D

Why don't they just superglue the shift knob on so it can't be removed?

because then you would just present a challenge to those folks and you would end up with shift knobs that are damaged and need replaced but no one can get it off to put the new one on:)

On close inspection, this is the same car I referred to as the "Mystery Black Car" at the launch at the Detroit Auto Show in January.;)
