I can't say I like the interior, looks like it's hard to keep clean (although it IS synthetic so it's easier to clean than real suede) and I don't think it goes with the black dash and trim.

Funny thing is I was wondering if you guys thought it was too interfering being on the wrong side for you!

it is the wrong side for us. The car was designed as a right hand drive and thus that is the logical placement for the e-brake and if you have the GPS you will notice the open button is better suited for right hand drivers too. In left hand drives you have to stretch a bit to reach it.

Oh ya, I wanted to ask you... I am going to go by and get my rotor hubs painted/sanded... and I was wondering if Sutherland did it under warranty? I know that Rick Case, which is the closest to me is a joke compared to Sutherland in looks and service so I assume that I would be better off going to Sutherland. I was just wondering if you, living in Buford, had any experience with them that might help me to know if they would do this or not.

Not sure about the rotors under warranty there. I had mine done in Gainesville at Moss Robertson. Sutherland has a great service dept though.
OK, here are the pics I promised:

I really love this car.
I suspect a combination of both. Shooting in a showroom has serious issues. All you can do is try to get an angle that doesn't reflect specular lights and colors from around the room (as in the second shot). So I had to try to shoot close-up sections to try to keep reflections to a minimum. I tried to capture the color as close as possible. The shots from the rear are from outside shooting through a window. The yellow platform was a real problem. Looks great for display though. The camera is a FUJI S2Pro

WOOOOOOOOWWWW!!!!!!!!!! That's a great looking car. But personally, I like my blue better. I don't know about the color of the seats though. Could be hard to keep clean.

I've seen the Copper/Red Shinka down here in Ocala Fl. didn't know what it was at first, just thought to myself that the color looked different for some reason..... I like the color but I am partial to the Winning Blue.... I would consider trading mine in for the darker blue if it was available here in the US... but since its not I will stick to my own car.... :-) just my .02$

Silver, I went by their today to see it. WOW! I hate how they have it roped off though so you can't open it up or anything. I wanted to raise it up too, but, 16 year olds get no respect even when I do pull up in the premiere Mazda car.

The **** is ok...it functions exactly like a key that is always inserted(when the transmitter is in the car)...a start button would have been cooler, but oh well, maybe next year.

Why did I not come back to this thread, WOW...I just love the copper red color. When and If my black dies...there is not doubt this is the color for me.
I agree...I love the 8 in all it's shades, but this is the best color you can get a 8 in.
WOW....

Dude, those wallpapers are shweeet!. However, could you remove the Sport Prestige Limited II text so I don't look like (even more of a) tool for having a wallpaper of a car that I sort of but don't really own?

The car can also be programmed to open automatically when you approach or lock when you leave...but i haven't figured out how to program this yet.
