I like the new look. Best upgrades IMHO are the struts in the engine bay, wheels, and the cool inset badge on the front. Worst is the steering wheel.
All in all, I like it. ... I would buy it if it had more power ;) |

I like the shower in the new facelift better than the bathtub in the current model. lol |

Hmm.. this thread has really taken off haha.. havent seen this much movent in a thread since the threads about the Recall and about Video-gate :lol:
So when is the Detriot show again?!?!?!?! And who's going??? |
I like the new rear but prefer the old, rounded front.
|
The more I look at them, someone is going to die so Chickenwafer can have those seats.....

holy crap i give up -- every time i read a page and went to the next, there was another page posted already!!!
overall looks good. i love the new ms front end, but not the "rs" front end. seats are wicked. i can't wait to get them. moving redline is f-ing sweet. rims are a nice change from the standard 5 spoke. steering wheel is fugly. about the tails - someone may have said it already, but i had to skip a few pages ... anyone notice the housing is blacked out on the inside?? FINALLY!!!!! |

Can't say I am fond of the chrome under the fog lights. Or the additional height the car gains from the 19 inch wheels.
e.g; 245/35/19 is about the same as OEM on our existing rx-8s |

i cant put my finger on it but something else looks amiss in the engine bay. looking at that pic it just feeellls like something else is out of place- and i dont mean the right hand drive changes |
love the rims, didn't even notice the rotary shape in them, looks very cool.
hopefully we can swap out the back bumper and tails with our current model, they look really good to me. i was going to get the current ms front (which i still might do), but if i can get the new headlights, the new ms front (not the "rs" one), i'd rather have that, assuming we wouldn't have to get the front fenders as well which i don't want (but will probably have to get to match the new headlight...) |

You'll definitely have to replace the fenders also.
it looks like the rear bumper would be a straight one-for-one swap though huh? |
I believe that the tails are actually the same shape...I think that the changed internals and the added ridge/lip to the trunk edge make it appear otherwise...look at the external edges and the location of the key hole....exact imo

if that front splitter is the "rs" version only, i think the front might look goofy w/o it, the way it comes up like that. hard to tell. although doesn't the autobahn front come up like that (and i love the autobahn front)...

Nice job. fill in the plate so it's black and reshape it so we don't see a rectangle.

Dude - maybe you should have purchased a Yaris so you could at least still pay rent somewhere... :scratchhe
When I take long trips I like pulling over to take naps when I get a bit tired. It's also quite relaxing to take a nap by the ocean when driving in the Malibu hills, especially when the sun is setting. |
