Does anyone know what Mazda is changing/un******* on the '05 model 8??? I was going to buy an 8 right after I bought my house in March but I think I will wait till the '05s come out. Hopefully they have rectified the faulty diffs, coolant seals and maybe delt with the cabin shin heater (excessive engine heat coming through the firewall)



Let a brother know...

All I know is that they are deleting the yellow, and adding another color. I forget which color.



So maybe rikki should hold onto his RX-8 and not destroy it??

What about the IBM man, the IBM!! CYM, and the new red on the RX-8. That **** looks sharp. They need to add an orange, and lavendar. That'd be pimp. Oh, and they need to add a turbo in the mix also.

The '93 RX-7 was the only one to have CYM. It became white on the '94 R2 cars. Is Mazda doing another removal of yellow move?

i dont like yellow on any car. it's somewhat bearrable on an rx-8, but i've been ruined by all the fugly yellow v6 mustang convertables with black tops and black interiors. yuck. worst combination ever from one of the stupidest cars ever.



white is much better. my rx-7 is why, and i think it fits the car perfect. white will look good on an rx-8, especially with gunmetal grey wheels.

That would not be too shabby. Maybe some gunmetal black rims to the mix.
