Thumbs up Geneva This Week

Can anyone going to Geneva please take a digicam and bring back some pictures for the European Forum.

If there's a red car there, try and get a true likeness of the colour.

Cheers
Oilman

Is it me, or does it almost have a hint of purple-ish colour in those pics? Must be the lighting.

Looks almost evil. I think the windows are tinted too. Red one very much in the background I see.

Beautiful in grey. Those lines, especially the wheel arches, look very pronounced and give it real character.

Thanks for that.

Just one point, on the last tit grey profile behind the front wheel over the vent are 2 metal strips. Are they new? They look very smart.

Indeed; looks great! It is an new option

Titanium Grey looks sometimes grey, then purple and sometimes a bit brown-ish. That is also the case at the Mazda6. It never gets boring

Those metal (plastic?) strips were also on the pics of the black car at the various shows in the US. The one that had the aluminium fuel cap.

They do look good, I wonder how much they will charge for them?

Also, those cars look like they have headlamp wash, are we getting this in the UK?

Nice comparison of the Red and the Tit grey, both look great. Im still glad Im getting the Red though, Its so shiney with the mica paint

The chrome detailing and metal petrol cap are options, if you look in the main forums under multimedia, there are scans of the Japanese options brochure.

There are many options, including more chrome detailing, and a full body kit.

The x-men car also has those side chrome details.

Rael,

It's the light man! The colour in daylight and especially Cornish grey skys I'm sure will be Blood Red.

I'm with Mark W, the Red's the one to have.

Titanium may look good under lights I agree but in daylight I'm not so convinced.

Once we have our cars we'll need to get together to compare.

I like the chrome flashes behind the wheel arches like the XMen car, hope they're available to us early orderers "free of charge".

Cheers
Oilman
