07 RX-8 Specs Available
Over at miata.net, the dealers have access to preliminary specs on 2007 Miatas and have posted them. I'm wondering if anyone here who works for Mazda (Zoom44?) can get access to the same information regarding 2007 RX-8s, and if they do would they please post them. Thanks.

Nuts. Sorry about that. How did you get the spec sheets before they were available to the public then? I'm asking because apparently Mazda's spec deck still shows 2006 information, the 2007s are hidden and you need to do a search.

that would be a secret
yeah they are doing the same thing they did for the 2006 MY which is laying in the 2007 pages in the 2006 info. i was being stupid and looking for a 2007 category to pop up. i should have known better.
i changed the title of this thread and stickied it- this will be whee you can find the info for now.
we're getting a new blue called Stormy Blue Mica and it looks like Winning is dropped. Also a new white - Crystal White Pearl - with Whitewater being dropped. Copper Red is dropped also of course.
6CD changer is becoming standard or Touring and Grand Touring packages
Chapparel Leather Dropped with the Sand available as an option on GT packaged cars.
this is very preliminary data and subject to changes of course- so dont go thinking this is set in stone just yet.
Job one is scheduled for July

just my guess but i think Strato Blue is goner (because of th enew paint method?) from the entire line up and that this Stormy will be close to the old Strato. With the new paint method they have, all the old colors will be gone from the whole lineup at some point.

Oh well, guess I'll wait and see exactly what happens. That Evo X is starting to look better and better....
i like the WB now, but some colors that are cool now and 'pop' are the same that look funny or do i dare say even ricey once they face the test of time. I have nothing against WB. But a black car, grey, white or a dark blue rex will still look pretty classy imo in 10 years.
Its kind of like fashion. 'JAMS' popped in the late 80s more than a pair of khaki pants. but they look silly now.

hmm...
the mazda6 wagon comes in a color called squall blue pearl.
squall - n : sudden violent winds; often accompanied by precipitation
sounds a bit like a storm
so, i wonder if stormy blue is going to look anything like squall blue.

1935 lbs. FTW!
What the heck are demisters for the front side windows? Do the 05-06 have those? Also what is the "performance package" does that just make a base model a sport or something? Seems like the bigger brakes, dsc etc are all sport options anyways, what else does performance package contribute?

No more shinka package and Black/Chaparal leather, but sand leather is still available...
If there are facelift would they have mention it in the spec deck?
also, they did not mention if there are radio equipment change, such as aux-in...
From 2007 Mazda 3 spec,
http://media.ford.com/mazda/article_...ticle_id=23151
"Audio systems have been upgraded with an auxiliary audio input and 12-volt power outlets are now standard for all models, providing the driver or passenger the option of bringing their own portable audio player to enjoy their favorite music in the car. "

Base model is the Sport model. The performance package adds
Sport AT Performance Package : DSC w/Traction control, Xenon headlamps, Fog lamps,
Tochigi Fuji LSD, 18" tires, Larger brakes, Sport tuned Suspension
Sport MT Performance Package : DSC w/Traction control, Xenon headlamps, Fog lamps
but you dont have the Bose or Moonroof or Homelink Mirror of the Touring package.
