should be Black-Cherry red!

also, the banners typically shouldn't be wider than 1024px but 900px is a much better way to go.

i cant lie, i hate the red one, but you can't please everyone. theres still way too much space on the right side. my 8club window never used to have to take up this much of my screen. i dont like having to scroll left and right to read posts.

the red one is the rx8 concept. i dont like it either. i vote my car for the banner.

i think we should be able to vote on the cars we want to see up there. have about 10 that rotate.

new banner repeats on the X asix on wide screen and looks ugly.. the old one didn't do that. the cycling is kinda silly and late 90ish for internets.

Should make it one or the other but not cycle. make it a random selection on the page load. Just my web. dev. 2 cents.

Watch it for a while, it cycles between 2 banners about every 10 seconds.

It repeats stupidly on my screen.. CSS fail lol

Should set it to be aligned to the middle, no repeat, and just use a background color in CSS which changes with the banner

This is something the server admins have to set up, the banner appears correctly for others. I'll let the IB admins know - thanks for the feedback!

Who's idea was it to go from rx-evolv -> Series 2 rx8? The generational thing could be cool, have all three either cycling or change randomly. I always liked how on the vette forum the banner would be dependent on what generation vette you owned.

Anyways, kudos for making the change either way!

It's not shaved but rather flush. You push in. Also, that is not the RX-EVOLV, but rather the 2001 Detroit Auto Show RX-8 concept.

Little factoid: There were hundreds of RX-8 concept design sketches developed which included versions from all 3 Mazda design centers (Hiroshima, MNAO, and MRE).

This is the RX-EVOLV. Displayed at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show.

Would rather have seen the 2004-2008, 2009-2010 versions up there instead of one of the concept models.
