I want to see plenty of pictures of the center console, if you can get that close. And try to get some pics of the mirrors I would like to see how they have changed :D

Yah, take as many as you can of everything. You can always throw out the bad ones, but you'll never be able to take more once you've left.

I'd like to see the trunk and engine if at all possible. ;)

I'll be there too the day after... I had to sacrafice a chance to go and "help" with the setup of a stand because of bloody work! What I do for them... and it's all in vain too!

Still, I'll do my best to get some good shots, If I can find the charger for my camera!

actually, of all the pics of the rx-8 I have seen already, I have not seen a straight side shot of the car with the front door open and the rear door still closed. If you could get a shot of that it would be great.

Classic proportions, reminds me of an E-Type FHC... It'll be a sure fire classic in a few years.

What does final final pre-production mean?

As in, "the finalized design that will be seen in production models"
(the supposed face lift, mono-color interior and slightly redesigned headlamps) or "the final design before the finalized production design" (as in the yellow RX-8 we've seen a million times)??

Get a lot of pics!

I am only 14 years old and they might just think im just wanting inside all the cool cars so that might restrict the pics i can get. I wonder if they will have the engine bay closed like at the last shows?

PS. I said final final because supposedly they are not going to change the Rx-8 from this model.
:p

If the car is the yellow one that was at france, I don't think it HAS an engine in it... so it would be difficault for them to show that off!.. I imagine it has some sort of "Milk Float" power... to move it about the stand, which suggests also that the boot (Trunk) is a mess!

If you boys can sneek in and give a yank to the bonnet release to see what end pops up you could make a lot of us happy. :D

I'm betting you will not see the final-final at the UK show but one of the ones you've seen before.
I still say Detroit will be the site for the World-wide lauch in January and everyone will be pleasantly surprised IMHO.:D :D :D

:p I really wish I could make the trip back to (my home town) and see it! :(

boowana, sounds like you're one of those that are well connected ;) Do you think the L.A. auto show would get the RX-8 too?

I happened to read a thread that gave me my answer about the L.A. auto show

RX-8 Forum > Mazda RX-8 > RX-8 Discussion > will the rx-8 be at the......

Probably, but it will more likely be the yellow car that's been to every show instead of a final product like we hope to see at Detroit.

The pre-motor show report in the Herald newspaper said that it was the final pre production model so it will probably be the red one that we are beginning to see pictures of.

Well, I for one will be at the Detroit show and taking lots of pictures. The Detroit shows for the next few years should prove to be pretty good, with cars the RX-8, C6, new Supra, new RX-7, new NSX...

Hopefully Mazda will have a good showing at the Chicago show also. In the past they have used Chicago to debut quite a few cars, including last years Special Edition Miata. I just want something there so that I don't have to listen to my Honda friend the whole time. ;)

I saw the Mazda stand in the background on a Tv program and the Rx-8 there looks it maybe the yellow one.:( It aso looks like the 6 MPS is there too.
