oh yeah and by the way...im not sure if the woman at the car show was just crazy but she said that they were also coming out with another yellow car...a new yellow mazdaspeed supposedly...so i went and checked out the info thing next to the car and sure enough...it said they were going to make one...now whether or not they do thats another story but for now thats the story i guess im going by. any other questions or anything just let me know.

I was at the show yesterday but left before the "riot" started.

Someone stole the wing off the Mazdaspeed Protege!

And there was a real lack of any cool promotional items from Mazda or any other company for that matter... kinda expected more goodies than we get in Toronto.

I want the Lancer EVO seats for my MP3.

[dan00k]

I really like that picture of the RX-8. Shown next to the people it really shows how small it is.

[dan00k]

those are all of the pics that i got of mazda cars... i mean they had like some 6's and some p5's but nothing fancy on them or anything just thought i would get the rx-8 up close and the titanium mazdaspeed

[Grimace]

Well, how did you like them?

[dan00k]

how did i like whut? the rx-8 and mazdaspeed? or the other mazdas?

[PaulMP3]

i just got home from the philly show. They had the orange MSP but they had the doors locked. i got a bunch of pics of that and the new Lancer Evolution. The EVO is dope. i love that car its even has sick ass Recaro seats.

This is all I got to see of the titanium Mazdaspeed Protege...

It looks like the thing was being held on by tape! I don't see any holes to bolt it on!

dan00k, rowan, I'm interested in your impressions of the titanium MSP.

[rowan]

There were actually two bolts underneath, one on each side.. plus the tape. Not the most secure method to hold it on.

I like the titanium colour very much. Not sure if I like the muffler more or less (the new style is flatter), but I think I would prefer a straight pipe to either style. hehe

[dan00k]

yeah i like the new color on the new mazdaspeed Grimmace...im not sure bout the new spoiler tho..its a bit different but it will probably grow on me. i do like the new color tho. i wonder how much of a resemblance the new yellow color will compare to the old vivid yellow. i havent seen any pics on a new yellow mazdaspeed yet so i guess i wont know yet..i like the new color tho but doesnt stand out near as much as the orange does but its still a very good color selection

[Newf]

damn, the grey looks nice there. Very metallic.

The wheels still don't look dark grey....what's up with this?

[Grimace]

Newf, you aren't having 2nd thoughts about the orange car you just got after seeing the grey, are you?

This pic shows the difference between the 2003 and the 2003.5 rims the best, IMHO: http://www.mazdamp3.com/members/Grimace/side.jpg
I still don't think the rims can be described as dark grey on the 2003.5 though. More of a medium grey or dark silver. Regardless, they are definately more dark than the 2003 rims.

dan00k: If you want to see the yellow Mazdaspeed, check out the thread in the Mazdaspeed Protege section, entitled "2003.5 Yellow MSP Pics."

[dan00k]

i will...thanx grimace

[Antoine]

Cool pics...I think the .5 styling changes will grow on me also...well maybe...The titanium color looks good on the car.

[Newf]

i don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but that picture of the 2003.5 wheel, it looks like the outer surface of the wheel ( front of the spokes) is a shiney silver, the same as the 2003 wheel color, but the inner wheel ( in between each spoke) is a gunmetal grey.

Is this so...that would be cool.

[rowan]

Hrmmm .. just took another look at the rear-view of the Mazdaspeed.
Now I am thinking ... why did they leave the brake light in my back window! (It's already on the spoiler ... errrrrrrr)
