im getting my new blue 8 on friday can anyone tell me model from picture ,i know what it is but want to see how good you all are,by the way im from edinburgh ,scotland

 

looks like a sport

 

It's an rx-8

 

That's what I was going to say.

 

sorry mates im just new and wanting to show off my car cos im chuffed ive got it

 

That would be Stormy Blue Mica, not just blue. And with out seeing the inside it's hard to say for sure if it's a sport, touring, or grand touring.

 

lol that looks like the sport but i think europe has different trim names not sure

 

Looks like its made by Mazda

 

full leather everything black

 

if you dont have a sun roof or bose then you have a sport. i like the rhd though

 

well no package deal, no moonroof. Navi doesnt look like its there... is it base model?

 

are you sure this isnt just a way for you to find out what model/trim you bought without actually asking us??? mainly because you'd be called a noob etc etc.??

 

It's a stormy blue Sport model. Only the sport model lacks a sunroof.

Looks like you got the foglight option, but not the appearance package. Probably lacks nav.

I was almost going to say it was used as well because of the clear corners, but the euro plate/Right hand drive leads me to believe otherwise.

 

touring. it's got fogs. maybe a sport with fogs added.

nice car though. your paint looks great. i have the same color, and i'm bothered by some light swirls that came with it courtesy of the dealer courtesy wash. thanks dealer.

 

it has no sunroof ,it has climate control 6cd multi changer and bose, system heated seats leather interior stearing and handbrake and gearshift, 5 spd manual 2008 model,
i am a newbie and confused to which model cos i been reading up and it seems i have the nemesis model it does have a chrome badge on front which isnt visible in pic but doesnt have them on the gills or name badges on front wings

 

5-speed? I knew there was initially a 5-speed for 2004 in other countries, but thought that was dropped.

Leather /heated seats means it is GT normally, but GT also got the moonroof, which you don't have. I am thinking the previous owner did a bit of swapping.

 

Welcome to the club, guessing a 6MT by wheels alone, full leather.. heated seats?

Lucky bastard to get the clear corners standard though.

Congratz on the purchase, hope you enjoy your ride! Looks cleaaan.

 

been a showroom car only used on test drives 9000 mls so i dont think its been swapped around

 

is it really a 5sp?
