^^holy off topic batman (shrug)

Not odd at all. That mag, along with 4 others are based out of Ann Arbor.

Milan is were most of the Auto mags. test there cars. I was at Milan when Auto Trend was testing the then new March 1.

Also was in there Mag when I was hit going down the track by a POS Trans Am

Yeah, I knew Auto. was based in Ann Arbor. I'll admit I'm a retard for not noticing their logo in the corner! I was thinking it could have potentially been a Mazda ad, in which case I'd have been very surprised to see a photo of Milan.

I haven't been to that track since high school in my 17 second Camaro, LOL!

i was wondering around and came across this pic it has ben reversed but you can see white guadges

 

[GhostMercury]

i think they mean the guage letters and number glow white. not the face

Ordered my MS3 a couple of weeks ago, wanted the Cosmic Blue, but I got a call from the sales guy telling me about these changes. So had to change my color choice, decided to go with the Metro Gray.

Don't flame me because I didn't get the white, it was a hard choice between the 2 but thought the gray would be a little easier to keep clean. (and the wife liked the gray)

 

[GhostMercury]

did they have pics of it

While it's impossible to decipher based on the terminology they used, if they make the #s (and not the face) while... they'll be making a HUGE mistake.

Think about the type of cars that have white backlit #s... vs those that have red. Huge difference... for a reason.

I told the dealer that I would be sold if a white MS3 came out because I have a black p5 now and am on a white trend as of late. But when they originally came out NO WHITE. So honestly, I might save to buy a white one since I am selling the P5 and working right now . . .

The link didnt work because of how awesome the censorship of these forums are, sorry about the waste of a PM man.

We've had White MS3's up here since the beginning!

 

[GhostMercury]

lol yea well canadians are still canadians lol. that was just a joke so dont take it as anything more. but idk i think the #'s would look sweet white and would give them a higher priced look

 

[Chris215]

What color is that? Is that Metropolitan Gray Mica?

Is there more picture of that color?

 

[GhostMercury]

no thats pretty much the only one

 

[Babyface13]

I think what they are going to do with the gauges is like they have in the rx8.
Durring the daytime the numbers are white but at night the change to red. I think it will be an improvement to say the least.

I'm planning to buy an 08 this summer. So when I go to buy one do I request for an 08.5?

 

[dkswim]

pic i posted is of an ausie car so it should be close to what we would get beacuse parts are alredy on the shelf. but that is just my 0.02

Yea, just make sure the car you buy has the new features from the 8.5. If you get one of the new colors then it will be obvious.

 

[GhostMercury]

i want the new interior color and changes if all these rumors are correct

 

[AGM130]

Its cool they came out with the update, but I really wanted the Cosmic Blue. I guess 6 disks full of MP3 files will have to make up for it.

My 08.5 is being made right now, got an email from my dealer. Says they should send me an email with the VIN within the next couple weeks. Being in the military its not really a Dealership, and if they don't have the car you want they have to special order it. I told the guy to see if he could get me some pics of what the changes look like. Hope he does.

In 99 I special ordered a Chevy Malibu and they actually sent me pics of while it was on the assembly line, one pic had the VIN.
