Shinka Pics

Took a few quick pics yesterday - it was a overcast and raining. The color is really hard to capture in pictures - previous pics have caught the "purple" extreme - much like Nordic green can be photographed as "forest green" but in person looks more like charcoal black.

I would say that "black cherry" is the most accurate description of the color - even the Mazda USA web site has made the car look too purple. We did have one sunny day here this week and I really liked the way the color looked.

Will need to upgrade my camera soon...

Really enjoying the car - fantastic to drive

TopGear...

Do you live in Vancouver?

It looks like Stanley Park in the background.

I almost forgot...

The color looks great TopGear.

The Tan leather interior is sharp.

Is that a rear lip spoiler? Looks good.

Post some more pics brotha.

That's one BADASS car. I personally like the cream/tan colored interior. Slap some clear corners, strakes and accents and you'll be set!! Get some pics in the sun!

I almost think it is like my black car until some light shining on it.

Nice - it is like a metallic black. :D
