New Shinka at the DC Auto Show
Snapped a couple of pictures of the new Shinka and the Mazdaspeed 6 at the DC autoshow, thought I'd share.
Also saw this monstrocity:
Finally...the only other engine I'd consider putting into my 7:

Damn when were you there? I have some pics in the RX8 Gallery Section of when I went yesterday. I wish I would have went when you did. I hardly see any people there. Look at my pics, there are thousands of people in there. It sucked because of all the people.

Rest of the pics are here if anyone is interested:

I was there on Saturday. Earlier in the day, things weren't too bad, but when we managed to squeeze out the exit around 2:00 pm or so, it was packed and the line to get in was crazy.
The Mazda/Ford was the last place we visited and it was just too crowded to get a good look at anything. Just one thought, I liked the black cherry shinka better than this color. The black cherry seemed a little more expensive and exclusive. This color kinda looked "common." They had it tagged as a 2007. Is there no 2006 Shinka? (sorry, i know the answer is posted in a thousand different places here). The 8 was a hot display at the show when I was there. the 3 and the mx 5 were not even being looked at, but the 8 was covered up!!

what is the big deal about the CX-7?
im serious when i ask...i heard tons of radio commercials before and during the L.A. auto show and they always mentioned it as some sort of show highlight.
it just looks like a minivan/SUV to me.

I found out from my dealer that unlike the '05 Shinka.....The new one will be a package deal...not just limited to one color...4 Colors if I recall correctly....White, Copper Red, Black....and I think Titanium (not sure on the last one). The Black Cherry will be out of production for now.....but I guess Mazda loves to produced special editions...so I'll bet it'll be back before there's a new body on the 8.
It's still in the top 5 cars you can buy in the US.
