August article in wheels magazine .
The king of spin steps from the throne .
If you get a chance to read August 2005 wheels magazine , on page 118 there's an article on their long term blue RX8 .
The last paragraph by Nathan Ponchard especially the last line has put an everlasting smile to my face
YELLOW ROCKS 
:D :p
"The RX-8 isn't for everyone- how many non-enthusiasts are going to keep tabs on it's oil levels? but it's a brilliant all-rounder. Fast, sexy, intellectual and chockers with character. ........... It's just a shame ours wasn't yellow." :D :p
B...free

I like the comment about the oil... I love the fact this car is one for the enthusiasts. In a world of mass market drudgery it's nice to have something a little different.

Grey is a great stealth colour - Red and Yellow are really easy to see.. Even black catches the eye easier than Grey....

and I'd add that all current BMW models are ugly as - somebody should flame surface Chris Bangle's butt! 
I used to like beemers but not now.

Well, to be fair, I reckon most current models would look okay if they got the headlights and tail treatment right. To suggest, as BMW has, that the cab-ad bum results from market demand for a sedan that fits two sets of golf clubs is just a design cop-out.
As for the Z4, I agree that some aspects are interesting but as a whole I think it looks contrived.
