im really really excited! but crap, i dont know what color! the orange looks so bad *** in some shots, but kinda lame in other pics. i put down black as my first color choice when i ordered...i dont know what to choose. orange is rarer though, like 600 units or so.......help!

hey,
hehe, i wouldn't go by what's "rarer" unless you reallly like the extra exclusivity for already an exclusive car. Just get whichever colour you prefer (i have no choice)

the tough thing is i dont know which is better! i guess all in all, i dont really care, and the dealer said even if i put black down, they still might get orange anyways. so, whatever, either way its gonna be all mazdaspeed under the hood

It appears Mazda went with the vertical intercooler just like FM/BEGI did.

When the mp3 came to my dealerships they slapped a $3000 mark up on it . Just because they were limited. Anyone seen this on the ms protege.

That site really sucks. You're better off getting your info from a magazine or dealer. I was at least hoping for some hi-res shots of the car, but I think Edmund's has better pictures.

Thanks. I was hoping for a better site, and we finally got it. Now they just need to put up an RX-8 site and I'll be happy .

Mazda used the stock intercooler from the European Diesal protege model
