Yes, there is a silver one. In fact, in the 1/43rd scale, Autoart has all of the colors. We have the full range in our parts department right now. I'll snap a picture tomorrow if I remeber to bring my digital camera with me.

Hmmm...now I am wondering if I will get one!! The official order on the sheet I got was the end of July but I made a change to it in early August. Hmmmm......well, I won't hold my breath and if I get one I will be pleasantly surprised. Geez, we are all worried whether we will get this metal car replica.....hmmm....we love our cars too much!!!:]

Cruz,

I ordered mine in July, was due in Sept., and when I went to pick it up (was black), I saw a gray one on the lot and fell even further in love, so I took it instead. They still offered the buyback/$$ and maint., and I got my little car yesterday. You should definitely qualify.

In the past, I had always received the gifts two to three weeks after the initial posting on this forum. It was much to my surprise that I found the little car sitting there waiting for me at home yesterday evening.

It seems there is no rhyme or reason as to the sending order of anything (gifts and ortherwise) from Mazda.

Must say that the diecast is a very pleasant surprise indeed.

To add insult to injury....

... today, I finally received the steering wheel touch-up paint!

Unless something else is coming (who knows, right? ), I think I'm all caught up!

No guys you are not having triple vision. you are seeing 3 touch up paints. 1) came with the car. 2.) for the survey. 3) just came in today with a fancy case.

I'll be happier if they'll send me the diecast or strakes or maybe ECU upgrade :D
I don't know what Mazda is trying to say but damn 3 bottle since October when I bought it. It's not like I need it coz it's been 1.5 months since I drove it and it only have 1200 miles.

Actually, both the 1/43rd and the 1/18th Brilliant Black and Velocity Red have the black/red two tone interiors. The other colors in both sizes have the all black interiors.

Just received mine too in Velocity Red. So far that makes:
1. RX-8 Book
2. Thermos Flask
3. Mug
4. Touchup Paint x2
5. Autoart Model RX-8

I have preordered and custom ordered several other cars and nobody did anything like this (Lexus did send me cookies once). I miss my RX-8 even more now.

My Brilliant Black was waiting for me when I got home. Unfornately, the interior doesn't match mine but it does have clear sidemarkers!

Are the doors supposed to open on the 1/43 model?
