Bill, I got a chance to get close and personal with a blk w/ cedar interior roadster on saturday. I guaratee you that you won't be dissapointed. The wife and I were out looking at the 300's for her. I got to talking with the salesman and told him that I was getting ready to purchase an RX8 for myself and he immediately told me I should look at a xfire coupe. I had already looked at them and decided I did not like the looks as well as the 8. He then told me I should see the roadster they had in the service building and I decided what the hell, I was just curious to see one. I was so impressed with the car that I forgot all about the RX8 and ordered a blk W/ cedar interior roadster for myself right then and there. It was going to take a very special car to change my mind as I have been in love with the RX from the first time I saw one. Hope you feel as moved be this new roadster as I was.
