Very nice, Buger. Snotty has taught you well.
Looks like the Miyoshi Proving Grounds.

OK...

The left hand drive one with the orange side markers is 1.. And that doesn't have a blue number stuck to the side...

But there is a picture with 2 in it, one in the distance... those BOTH have the blue number stuck to the side...

Also, in that picture... it appears that there is white writing on the tyre... whereas there are other pictures where it is not there... (Optical illusion?)..

The bronze colour in the background looks like it has potential if it's reflective/bright enough.

I think that the white writing is an illusion, because the only cars that have those kinds of tires suck

That looks like red paint reflecting a grey sky to me.

the one in back in the pic with 2 silvers in it has orange side markers, so it could be the one in the first pic just the first pic had the number removed for the pic?
the "bronze" one in the backround looks red on my screen

try to follow this thought and see if it makes sense to you:
1) if the pic of the shifter, nav controls and bun warmer switches was taken at the same time, then it could be a pic of one of the silver cars since there are no red inserts in the seats.
2) the car with the orange side markers does not appear to have foglights.
3) the car with the clear sidemarkers has the fog lights and the lip spoiler.
4) so if the car with the lip spoiler et al is the one with the nav this could be part a package, maybe the "sport" package which would mean it has the stiffer suspension, without the body roll that some of the reviewers mentioned.

As per your last comment, Mazda had cars with different suspension setups that weren't representative of what would be the finalized product. I don't think there will be much roll in either suspension setup, sports or not.

Stiffer yes, but I think in a sports car or one close to it, there shouldn't be roll. Look at the Mazda6 for example, very little roll in the body. Understeer, sure, lots of it. But it's also FWD. A RWD RX-8 with a lighter suspension will still be as good as the 6's.

Allow me to be about the 100th person to offer thanks for the new pictures. Now I have a new desktop wallpaper and a new color to consider. I really want a dark blue, but these pictures moved a silver one a few notches higher on the list just in case Mazda's blue sucks.
