[erik84]

Looks like MazdaUSA finally updated their website to show the new colors and changes to the interior. Boy does that gray look dark.

No new interior pics though...maybe by the last week of MS3 production they'll finally update that too

Well they did actually throw a couple of the new white guages and the piano black up there...i still don't see any of the alcantara seats

Web designers get lazy......look at me, i'm on here.

if you do the 360 view on the interior it has the alcantara seats update

they still don't even distinguish the 2008.5 updates have been made...at least not from what i've been looking at

When you go to build a car on the website, it will show the updates you get with the GT package. And it's not labeled as 2008.5 updates. Dealerships didn't know the differences, but saw the new colors when purchasing.

Is there a reason why mazda is charging an extra $200 for the white paint?? They don't charge anything extra for the others...do they just figure it's going to be the most popular choice so they're going to try to screw over the consumers?

i think im gonna regret ordering the BM whenever i finally see the MG in person

 

[erik84]

Because they can? Ha ha. I think maybe because the white is a pearl, not the average white.

white paint cost more to manufacture. The key ingredient to making it "white" is titanium dioxide and there is varying degrees of quality for titanium dioxide. Auto paint is the highest level of quality and the crystal white is a step higher than that.

There was one in the last autox I did the grey was so dark when you got up on it it almost looked kinda blueish . The Cloth in between the leather on the seats looked a lot nicer and the passengers side had a red mazdaspeed logo on the trim above the glove box .

ha white paint is wayy cheaper to make than red paint but the reason its $200 more is because its a tri -stage color white base--pearl mid coat--clear extra coat costs more
