not crazy about it. looks like the directional tires are on backwards, which doesn't bode well.

Interesting color. Looks more like a burnt orange (popular over the last couple of years, but seems to be losing its luster). How would you put a price tag on it?

This car was on display at Sevenstock. Customized by a dealer "Galpin" who is famous/infamous for "Galpinizing" their cars.

When I saw the car at Sevenstock, the first thing I thought of is why did they have to pick the same color that I relate to the 350Z? I don't like it on the Z, liked it even less on the 8. It was an interesting effect to color match the wheels - but NOT in that color for me.

It would be one of a kind.........

NOT

I wonder how long it'll sit on the lot before they get an offer on it.

Edit: LMAO! I made an offer ($1.00 opening Bid on eBay) That's my max bid. :D

I dunno, I kinda like it. Mazda should have been more adventurous when picking out colors for our 8. If this color option was available (minus the half-etched rims and the two tone interior), I think I would have chose it over black.

ebay doesn't have rotary as a choice when you're posting an auction. So a 6-cylinder is probably the nearest choice in terms of performance (though I doubt there's a 6-cyl in existence with torque as low as 159 lb-ft).

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the color but it's not too bad. The main UGLY part of the car is the interior and the wheels. If I got it, and I wont, I would tell him to take the rims off and give me normal ones.

With time I would put in all black seats not that PIMP looking gold...yuck!

BUT, if it were sold for cheap $19,000 or less...I think it might be worth buying???

Any bets that my opening bid will be the only bid... maybe I'll get a buddy to bid on it. He loves that color (was looking at a used Z) and he adores my RX8, but I know his budget for a replacement car. $21,000.00

They're really lucky that Madza DIDN'T come out with that color for 2005.

I almost bough the widlfire 6 months ago

I almost bought that car at Galpin. Until I found out that the price tag was $54,000. They had charged $10,000 for the paint job (chromalusion color shifting paint) $2000 for the custom interior. Plus they were double charging for all the other extras (19" wheels, accents, exhaust, lojack, 6 disc cd changer, etc...)

So instead I just bought a black one and I bargained shopped all the same accessories for a fraction of the price Galpin wanted.

In all fairness the photographs of the Wildfire don't do it justice. It really looks a lot better when you see it in person and see the color shifting paint.

But I still think its overpriced. I'm not surprised it's on ebay. The last time I saw that car was 6 months ago and they still haven't sold it, so they must be getting desperate.

Cool, I"ll have to go check that site out.

If they think they are going to get $54,000 for an RX8 they have to be smoking the stuff there were smoking when they picked the pimp GOLD interior. When will people learn, the money you put into a car will most likely never come back to you...well, unless you find

Isn't that a color similar to the Mazda "Lava Orange" that's available for the '04 Mazda3s?
