Will post the FD & RX-8 pics maybe later today.

Also that RX-8 is 206kW not 184kW.

Its due for release here in April - June.

Red Mica called Vivrant red ?

Hard case colour. Its red with a goldy flake through it.

looks great under artificial light.

other colours are.....

A new blue
a New Yellow
Titanium Grey
Snowflake white (I think)
Black (Brilliant probabaly)
Silver (also a new colour I think)

So if it's not for sale why is it at your dealership? (I am assuming you work at a dealer) Is it there for test drives? Pictures? Torture?

206KW is 280PS or 276HP for those scoring at home.

I wonder if the car is just tuned differently...

Was in New Zealand

Its gone now

Was at North Harbour Mazda for about a week.

From now all you will get to see is my RX7 in the weekends as the RX-8 is back off to Japan.

We were the only dealership to get it.

I have heaps more pics who can I send them too.

I'm still waiting for the other ones but should have them next week.

The RX-7and RX-8 ones are the best but there is a bit of a size diffence mainly in height not width or length.

Just sent you the from the first day the RX-8 was here.

These shouldn't be blurry as I took them

I also sent you a pic of a brand spanking new Mazda 323 which I got a hold of and give a twinkle.

Also a pic of my RX-7 less the MazdaSpeed goodies :D
