I'm pretty sure the '05 RX-8 models will have more color choices.

Notice the red HSV GTS 300 in the background of the first pic? It'd poop all over the 8 and all the others aswell.

Blue inserts are interesting

Let's see it this way:

You (Americans) don't get the blue interior, but we (European) get that stupid licenseplate in the grille!!

Vauxhall Monaro my ****, that is 100% Australian Holden Special Vehicles GTS Coupe' 300kw, also the Monaro is also know in another country as a Cheverolet GTO, the bastards at Chev. also deemed it necessary to butcher the beautiful car and made it as ugly as a micra.


The Bastards!!!

Also, I think that everyone will get the license plate in the grille, it does look crappy but hey, what are you gonna do?

The normal Holden Monaro looks much better! That Vauxhall looks more like a ordinary tuned car

If that is the only RX8 in the UK -

a) Why is it Blue ? We are not getting blue - (leather inserts or otherwise!)

b) Why does the steering wheel change sides between photos... ?

c) Why dont they invite me to come test drive it !

As I sead on the other Autoexpress-thread:

After a second look on the pictures of the car, I found out that the blue inserts are only photoshopped
On all the other pictures the inserts are black, and on the only blue/black pic the approaches are not in a matching colour like it is with the tan or red inserts. If you have a close look at the picture you see it's worked over with photoshop



I WANT GREY OR BLUE INSERTS!

Well, maybe it is... But do you notice that this is a different car from the one they where testing??
I did not see it until now, but the steering wheel are on the left (normal) side on the car with the blue inserts.
On the blue RX-8 they test the steering are on the right (english and japaneese cars)...

Hm......

It doesn't look photoshopped to me. The blue reflection tinge on the black leather parts and the general unaltered lighting lead me to believe that the blue insert is real.
