2 different corner markers

Originally posted by zoom44
i wonder why the lens for the signal on the side looks clear at some angles and red at others? and what is with the right hand drive pic? is it some how a negative reversal from a film camera(for those of us that remember cameras that werent digital)? or did they have 2 cars at the press show?
The reason the corner marker looks amber in some photos and clear in others is because there are 2 different cars. The right hand drive has clear, the left hand drive has amber. Look at the engine pic. You can clearly see that the marker is clear, and look at where the brake booster is...

We (in the U.S.) may get stuck with amber, but not to fear. I'm sure somebody will be selling the clear ones.

I didn't notice that, but did anyone else notice the fuel gauge and temp gauge have switched places since the yellow concept? I wonder what the reason is...

Lightbulb autobild... RX-8 war gelb!!

hallo stefan

ich schreib dir jeztmal in deutsch! vielen dank für deine infos.

wenn du genau hinschaust, sind die bilder bearbeitet worde. dieser rx-8 wurde farblich manipuliert. dabei haben sie nicht so genau gearbeitet. auf seite 9 an der hinteren stosstange zum beispiel sieht man noch einen hauch von gelb. auch bei anderen bildern sieht man einen gelben rand. dieses auto war gelb!!

ist ja nicht schlimm. nur zur information.

sonst ist dieser artikel sehr gelungen. ich freu mich jedenfalls schon auf meinen RX.. farbe schwarz!

gruss aus der schweiz!

sorry! irgendjemand kann das sicher ins englische übersetzen. damit das alle lesen können.

The picture of the RX-8 was yellow!

Hello Stefan:

I will write you in German! Thank you very much for your information.

If you check carefully, this is not so perfect work. You can see that the pictures were worked on. This RX-8 picture has been manipulated.

On page 9, check out the rear bumper. There is another example of a hint of yellow. Also, in other pictures one has a yellow edge. This car is yellow!

Do not be bad. Only to the information.

Otherwise this article is ???????. In any case already know what my RX color is: black!

Greetings from Switzerland!

Sorry! Someone can certainly translate this to English so that everyone can read.

well even if the u.s. version gets the turn signals theres no doubt you'll be able to replace them with some nice looking clear aftermarket ones.

LOL! Just make sure you put your bonnet down before you pull out of the garage (pronounced "gare-ij").

Wow, an american who can speak english... I'm not sure how you're changing tyres though since I've never had to look under the "hood" for the wheel nuts before?

ROFL... we really should stop this, it's far too humourous.

Tyre = Phoenician island city; also the name of the 4th largest city in Lebanon.

Bonnet = A woman's non-fashion (read Amish) accessory.

Boot = The things I wear to walk all over the British version of the English language.

Blue = Purveyor of poor literacy by influence of an outdated version of the English language! (Not like most people on the interent need help)

Trust an American to assume that they speak better English than the English... ROFL....

Actually I find the differences quite satisfying... particularly since _I_ don't have a problem understanding "y'all"... At worst it's a talking point.

And then we get on to measurements... Particularly the Gallon... Did they originally spill some on the way from europe to the USA?

Hi BlueAdept,

Its not fair that your gallons are bigger than ours! (or was it the other way around?)

In the 5th grade (1980?), we had some people give a presentation on the metric system to the entire school. They said that we would have to learn it because the US would only be using the metric system after a couple of years.

A few years later I was wondering what happened?

I think our gas pumps have both liters and gallon figures but nobody really looks at the liters number except foreigners.

Brian

Imperial Gallon (UK) is about 20% bigger than in the US.

They told us that too in 1980ish... but it actually happened, I can't say "Gas" but our pumps are ONLY in litres and have been for many years. I still work in Mpg for fuel economy but I can just about cope with Litres/100Km now...

By the way, If you call Petrolium Spirit "Gas"... what do you call Petrolium Gas, which is also used here to power verhicles, and is much cheaper???

Natural Gas. There is also LPG wich is short for Liquid Propane Gas.
