Now since the official unveiling, there is a real production model at the LA show along with the XMen 2 car.
From what I see from the pics everyone can jump in and try the car - it seems to be on the floor along with the other Mazda vehicles.

So whoever wants to touch the car, try the seats, shift some gears, and press each knob - head to the LA Auto Show :D

Check out the bottom left picture (that shows the console)... did someone swipe the shifter knob?!

I know that at the Philly car show they remove the shifter knobs in all the cars open for the public to sit in...they also remove the batteries so no accessories work.

yeah standard auto show practice. people seem to think that shifter knobs are free souveniers:(

LMAO!:D :D :D

no they take the shift knobbs off so people don't steel them i asked at last years auto show he he ;)

I know lighting can wreak havok for most digital cameras, but the red in those shots looks fairly light. Almost a tomato color in those shots - I was hoping for a deeper and slightly darker red.

I'll just have to see it in person. I also want to see the blue up close and personal
