Mazda has been promising a supercharged rx-8 for some time....It would be sweet (and needed) power, but the gas mileage won't get better for sho

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Really takes a load of the buyer's remorse Headed over to pick it up in a few minutes.

I also agree that black or white is the way to go with these cars. White just seemed a little more unique though.

Will takes some initial pics today or tomorrow.

Today I saw a yellow rx-8 on the road... IMHO it's the most striking color of all. Liked it a lot.

i think people who likes subaru, will all like the rx7 or 8. all sharing the same thing, unique engine. boxer is unique and so is the rotary. maybe thats why a lot of us go to rotary after the boxer.

It's not really my best work, but I wanted to avoid the offsetting dealer plates as they really kill the shot.
