Invited to RX-8 focus group…
Invited to RX-8 focus group…
…to offer my thoughts on the car and to get my input on “some new features and accessories being considered”. And, they are paying me $100 for what I’d do for free. Is this a great country, or what?
Uhhh... how 'bout better gas mileage (flame suit on!). J/K
. I would like to see temp controls on the AC/Heat instead of a dial with blue and red ranges and a machine gun mounted to the front to get people out of your way in the fast lane.

i agree about the a/c,
but i will raise you headlights that turn off after you remove the keys.
and a sixth gear for cruising. aka 3000rpm at ~ 80 to 85mph.
move cup holders forward.

Having bought my first brand new sports car in '73 for right around $4,000 , I used to say that any new car going for $30,000 ought to be able to give you a bj for that kind of money. Hehe...

My Vote is for:
-Aux in
-Have the side mirrors auto dim like the rear view (or at least tint them)
-Voltmeter (so I know when the battery/alternator is toast.
-Oil pressure that actually reads the oil pressure.
-Move the cupholders forward and put the heated seat switches somewhere else (side of the centre console?)

Hi/Low seat warmers?
Are you talking about the temperature? Because they work in conjection with the heat setting (dial) of the car.

It may be difficult to work this in, but a high temp cat on all cars so Canzoomer or others mods won't burn our the oem equipment. That way, those of us in emissions controlled counties/states won't have to worry about epa fines...
