Question Why Shinka?

I went to the New York Auto Show yesterday to take a good look at the Shinka. No offense to Shinka owners but why the Shinka? It seems that Mazda just put plush leather on the seats, which I feel it didn't look right for the style of the car, as well as the purple paint. I was a little disappointed in the car in the show. It had no options like a spoiler, ground package or navigation. Does the Shinka come with any of these as options? If it does you would think Mazda would have picked a fully loaded car to debut in a big show. It seems to me that Mazda took some of the options available in the 2004 and packaged them for a higher price. It is still an 8 so I respect it. :D

Just an attempt at keeping the model line fresh -- hopefully to give them just enough time to come out with a power upgrade for next year. Oh yeah... this thread should be moved outta the Tech Garage...

Your right. I intended to discuss the new technology in the Shinka but I transgressed. This thread would be better suited in the Discussion forum.
