by the way, does anyone know where we might be able to get the 25th Anniversary stickers? i want one. i'd rather not have to save the image and send it to a vinyl sticker company, because it's less special if it didn't come from Mazda themselves lol.http://www.roadster25th.com/news/index.html

Looks good, but I really can't do that light interior, would have to swap out the seats.

The chassis looks cool. I think the white leather seats is reminiscent of the rare M2 versions of the miata's.

I agree, they aren't looking for usability today, but the "uniqueness" as a future collectable. How rare, and sought after are the M2 cars? These off white seats will be harded to find than hen's teeth, 5 years out. Heck, I would buy an extra set just so I would have a spare in case something happens to the originals.

What is up with the only 100 models being sold?

So...why are there four digits? And if there is only 100, then are they counting to 99? Or are there actually 101?

i think only 100 is reserved for the US; the rest of the may be elsewhere. i think i read somewhere that said 1500 in total, but don't quote me on that.

Ah, you're right :fp: I wonder if they will actually be numbered sequentially, 1-1500, or if we'll get our own 1-100

Yes, that is correct, the rest are for Japan, UK, etc.

Met Bob Hall and Tom Matano...nice guys and loved the fact that Mazda invited a group of Miata enthusiasts to attend...if anyone goes to the Javits center for the show, be sure to stop by the Mazda display...there is a running slide show at the front of the display...had 14 pics of my friend's V8 car mixed in..the Fireball Run car..Nadine
