I like it.

card key

The card key is only applicable to Type E or Type S...Other wise than that u got to pay extra for it if it a base model.

Frens,

(1) Mine is a base 4AT model. Let's not get confused here. Car was in slightly after mid July.
(2) Battery is in the card key, can be self-replaced. I think it's active RFID (I stand corrected)
(3) It has "water repellant" windscreen as well, I think/hope.

I paid extra for side airbags/inDash 6CD/18' rims/strakes/rotor emblems. Maybe the reason why the goodwill 'extra'? Tat's all.

2007 Shinka

Anyone knows if MM can bring in Shinka or only available through PI? Anyone can advise on estimated pricing and the difference between a Shinka and a 6MT Type S?

hi, only PI can bring in the shinka, in fact now it not known as shinka... It know as True Red Style from the name u can tell that it only available in Chilli Red colour.
FYI, i agreed with u on the other thread that some PI warranty wasn't from all those specliase workshop and that the reason we(wow) tied up with Monster Garage with warranty issue and servicing..

Cheers,
Jimmy

Only Chilli Red? That's not such good news, they should just stick with the policy of 1 special color each year plus the normal 2-3 other colors.

Any idea on estimated pricing, when start taking orders for 2007 True Red Style and key improvements from normal RX8?

Yah, am a stickler for warranty and I think that should be key consideration when deciding to buy from PIs or MM. I rather those PIs with no tie-ups with specialised garages come clean and say I sell cheap cheap but car no warranty except maybe if you lose a nut here and there, I replace for you ok - anything else very sorry. But honesty doesn't get a salesman very far in this less than perfect world
