freakin beautiful. i have a feeling thats going to be a very popular color...

 

[jalaan1]

mannnn, i want that sooo bad.

looks great!

 

[Young Roids]

I am not all that wowed by the updates. The white is nice but the interior is meh.

 

[Derek88]

I like the gauge needles but I dont like the seats or the black trim.

 

[Kobyoshi]

Meh.
I was really thinking I was gonna dig the piano black a little more. Not so. It looks.... dare I say, cheap after market.
I do like the white needles.
Those look like Sport seats. I wanna see the GT.

 

[KOSMOS]

This is not a GT model it's just sport. Wait for the leather seats with alcantra inserts.

After seeing pics of the piano black finish, I'm glad I bought an 08 before the 08.5 came out. It smears too easily and that would drive me crazy. The white is awesome and I agree that it'll be a popular color, but the new gray will be a great color too.

Ok I have to say it. The piano black looks like crap. It doesn't seem to go along with everything else and looks aftermarket. The seats looked better in grey. and WTF is with the mazdaspeed logo on the dash trim, it looks like a sticker... I thought the logo would have been etched into the trim, that would have been hot... I'm glad I have a white one that has the old interior...

Are those seats the same as a 07 sport? I really like the one color seats

 

[redspeed]

They can keep that new interior, but that white ms3 is super sexy. (wow)

nope, the one color is new they used to be gray and black

 

[Pirana]

is that Mazdaspeed logo just a little decal? or that is the protective cover?

 

[Aaron2112]

god i want one more and more every time i see one.

 

[guy_incognito]

Piano black...ehh.
Mazdaspeed logo on dash...sticker is already peeling off?
White...nice
MP3...nice

Just want to see what the alcantera looks like, but overall I'm not too impressed.

Thanks for the picts! I was worried I would regret not buying the 08.5 with the black accents but...

...while the white is nice, the piano black accents clash with the matte gray controls like the window switches, radio buttons and knobs. And the red Mazdaspeed logo on the dash looks cheesy. The smearing would also drive me crazy

yeah it looks like its just got a plastic cover on the logo, still not sure I like that there tho

yeah i love the white color, but the rest of the interior upgrades just seem blah. The piano black would be good if it matched the rest of the interior, but since it doesnt, it makes the rest of the interior look like cheap plastic. Im sure I will like the leather and alcantarra seats, but i dont think im too upset with having the 07 and missing out on these things

i just wish i had the MP3 deck. I wonder if i can order one and swap it out with mine.

White is alright... never been a big fan of it. If you're OCD it is a painful color to have in my area. You have to clay it often to keep it perfect.

The Piano black inserts I think look nice but kinda don't match the rest of the inside. Plus they would smear and scratch real easy. Once it was scratched or scuffed it would drive me nuts.

You'll have to post up some pictures of the new GT seats when they arrive.
