Change of colour
Hi all,

I'm thinking of getting another RX8.... Basically I really have enjoyed driving this car (and car club etc ) and there's nothing else in this price bracket that suits.

But I can't help wondering if a new model or model upgrade (eg more power) will be coming out soon - afterall it has been nearly 4 years since first released & and then I'm also wondering about the colour - I'm just not sure whether I should go for red again or maybe white or...?
I'm leaning towards white (this colour wasn't available when i got mine) this time with a full bodykit, hymee exhaust of course, etc etc

Well just thought i'd ask for your opinion on colour & whether anyone has heard if a model upgrade/new model is rumoured to be coming out soon?

Rik

I don't think theres going to be another model till about 2010?

I suggest holding off till then?

I think the US side of the forum has a lot of rumours about that going around

But if you do get a new RX-8 now, you'll only get 170kw (manual). That's 7kw lower than yours (and most of ours)... but then again... what can you do with 7kw?

For the money involved, I would keep what you have and spend the money on mods

Get another red, Rik, to compensate for the power loss (u say yourself that it's faster), and u won't have to change your user name either hehe

Eeekk - why do you think they dropped the power? or has that question been asked B4 and answered... and i've missed it?

Hmmm, i hadn't thought about the name change

I would join...but I'm all the way up in Sydney.

As to the question, personally I'd hold out a few more years and see what the next gen one looks like. I'm sure your red baby is still serving you very well.

Rik, name change is easy, you just have to pm 1 of the supermods on here and they'll switch it for you

New cars comes in a lot of forms. Some good mods take the worn parts out and put a good newly performed one in - it is a new car.

Although I love white

I'm also sorely tempted by the white. Looks hawt when modded.

Mind you, the copper red is a beautiful colour...
