Go figure... clear corners and strakes are standard... Why do they think we wouldn't want that in the states?

Because they're a bunch of jerks! That's my answer to both questions above.

Color is a start.. Suspension, All the MS goodies, and knowing people in the US will never own one is limited enough

not seeing the inside or anything.....and I know you can order just some of the MS parts for the cars in japan from the dealer (much like here) but is this really a full factory MS car...? why does it have the stock 18's and not the MS 18's?

and yes the color is HOT!

the true MS car only comes in silver and that dark blue right? also I heard they only made 300 of them....is that wrong....or were there 300 silver and 300 blue or total or what?

The Japan MS is the Strato Blue.. not the Silver. The rims are an extra option... You can get the MS rims or not.. also the MS Magnesium rims if you really want to go bling.

If they had a special edition rx8 (like a shinka) with that color i would gladly pay more for it, it's sick.

Not a big fan of the black cherry of the current shinka's.

the purplish color IS strato blue mica, it is available on the mazda3

it is a very dark purplish-blue with mica (eg 'gold') flakes deep in the paint, yet another amazing color that make people gasp

hmm, I didn't know that's what it was called. Explains why I could never find it on the "build and price" pages, I always dismissed the blue as, well, blue. The pictures don't look purple at all on those build pages. Sweet.

So, I say, Mazda brings this to the NA market. You hear me Mazda!!
