well I did have a pewter 200SX and loved that colour... i was leaning towards the titanium but the lady of the house swung me around to the red, so we'll see how that goes.
I didn't go for the leather though - opted for the Intelligence Pack :o

Don't worry about Lock. I have back to back performance charts to show red/sports is quicker than yellow/leather. :D

Nice but oh so common (RED) :p
My car had not even been properly run in when these tests were done .
Whilst Hymee had his already well worn in :p
Red /sports lighter / cheaper looking yes .common /yes
Quicker EVER SO SLIGHTLY perhaps but only due to the weight diference :D

auto? cmon! when i spend a full day on the road the manual drives me bonkers, but it would be a tragedy to put the auto in there

As for common... The sports pack is not as common as the luxo pack.
Just let him be happy with what car he chose. We all have our reasons. Personally, I didn't like the way the xenon headlight washers spoilt the lines of the front bumber.

welcome and enjoy your stay. and most importantly, enjoy your new car and dont let anyone put it down.
im sure there are always reasons for anything.
i have a black provo pack, it was the only brand new one in sydney when i had to do the trade-in, didnt really care because i will change the colour anyway, dont like leather, hated it on my last car, so i may trim it in suede (my last 2 full retrims are mostly suede), xenon..... not too fussed, last car had xenon, couldnt really see the difference, and the sound system.... there is always better aftermarket option..... thats what i told myself after i put the deposit down

Frankly i could care if people opt for leather or cheap frabrics :p and the reason the pov pack is not as common is because most RX8 buyers have better taste :p and they opt for the sports / luxury pack
As far as xenon lights you try driving in some hinterland areas with very poor lightining see how far you get , spoil the lines WTF your being......... A .........AGAIN
With my CZ unit up and running as smooth as $1.70 is but a walk in the park :D

You're about to take delivery of a car worth the best part of 60K and you haven't driven one yet?? Huh? Surely you test drove the thing??
And you still haven't answered my question as to which side of the scrum you pack into! :D :D

And is it just me or did Mazda just drop a bunch of cars in Aus? Going by plates I have seen about 6 new ones in the last week.

scrum - huh? what going on here? sounds dodgy
with all the 8's you are seeing - yes I think the shipments are finally starting to flow and trying to clear the back log.
