Doing research before getting an Rx-8. I'd like a GT in red but don't like the two tone interior. Has anyone been able to order red with black leather?

If you go to autotrader.com and look up Rx-8's there are lots of red's without the two tone interior - '04's and '05's.

Thanks for any help.

 

Those cars without the two tone leather are cloth - GS models. I'm not saying it's impossible, but they simply don't do it unless you're willing to pay mucho $'s

 

yeah. its impossible to not get the red 2 tone interior on a Velocity red GT, I dont really see why you dont like it, some people arent a fan of the tan colour inserts, but red looks amazing!! ....have you seen one in person??

 

Canada doesn't get any choices for interior - you pick your exterior colour, that's it. For GS - all black interiors, no matter the exterior colour. For GT - Red exterior gets red/black interior, Gray gets brown/black interior, all others get black (Black no longer gets tan/black for 2005). That's one of the differences between the US spec RX-8s and Canadian RX-8s, there are more. Go to www.mazda.ca to find what comes in Canada, don't worry about the US models.

Thanks for all the info - I have seen the two tone red interior and would prefer something a little toned down - just personal preference.

I trying to decide between red and black for exterior colour - living in Vancouver the black would have to be washed a lot to keep it looking good but I prefer the all black interior.

I'll be waiting a couple of months as I need to sell a Z3 - mint condition but wrong time of year to get anything decent for it.

This is a great forum - I've done lots of research here.

 

Well we don't get the brown interior downunder (thank god) nor the white colour, so everyone suffers.
