Can someone who's seen a Winning Blue RX-8 in person tell me how that color compares to the Protege5 Laser Blue Mica and the Mazda6 Lapis Blue?

The Mazda sales guy today told me it was very close to both of them. I'm interested in the Winning Blue, but have yet to see it in person and am not sure how accurate the Internet pics are. Thanks!

Much closer to Protege 5 blue than Mazda 6. Does not have
the purple hue of the 6.

I saw one side by side with the protege 5. The winning blue is actually a little lighter blue then the protege. It's also a little more metalic. I found it a little too bright for my taste. Now if only the Xmen blue was available...

My dealer had a 6 speed Winning Blue in stock today. Looks great! Lighter than the 6's Lapis Blue.... but seemed a tad bit darker than the blue on the Rev-It-Up 8.

OK, thanks for the help!
