OP, I hope this helps clear up any confusion, and I believe that what you saw on your invoice was just as someone else pointed out, a "short cut" to imply special edition, but you need to correct it.
Nothing needs to be corrected: it wasn't on the invoice for the car itself, it was the description on the invoice for getting the iPod integration module installed. None of my purchase or insurance documents say "Shinka" anywhere. I never for one moment thought that I had one, I just wondered if use of the term had maybe broadened to include any limited edition.

Tell the dealer not to insult you like that, he he. A 40th Anniv. Ed is top ranks in my book. Calling a Shinka anywhere would be an insult. :)

ooooOOO I likey "true SHINKA" of 06. Never thought of that. Copper Red Mica did only come out in 06 and only on Shinka. Good one rddragoness, your like the goddess of the CR Shinka.
the interior is diffrent on both, the reason i got another shinka was because of the leather and the suede combo on the inside. u just cant beat it = ). orange was far to epic for me. |

Ti Grey and other colors that are offered on the 06 Shinka's were already colors on the regular RX-8 and for more than one year. Copper Red Mica is exclusive to the 06 Shinka. Get it? Except for the Black Cherry 05 Shinka. It is also an exclusive color to the Shinka. |

I've got a 05 6MT GT, Black with brown interior. Just ran my VIN through this NADA "free VIN check", and it came back saying my model was a "Base/Shinka". What's up with that?
|
I prefer the Nismo version.
|
Nismo RX-8's are sick. They come with a Bigger V-6!
|
Does the 40th have silver or black strips along the sides of the center console? The Shinkas have the black. Also the 06 8s were not available in titainium gray only Galaxy Gray and Sunlight Silver. My $ .02 worth
|
thanks for clearing that up ;)
|
2005 Shinka is the real Shinka!!! j/k ...but I do love the 2005 one the most. The Black Cherry Mica gets so many compliments and looks just amazing under sunlight or bright street lamps. A blend of purple, black and red thats really grown on me.
|
Hmmm, I just read all these posts but everyone failed to mention that in the '07 line up Mazda offered White/sand Alcanterra leather seats and Shinka options in all the '07 exterior colors except Sunlight Silver.
|
NO 07 Shinka's.

(I have one!) Oh, the 40th MT also has the shift pattern on the shift knob thats black writing on white/cream background, as opposed to the normal white writing on black background |
