No more Titanium or Nordic Green, eh? The loss of Nordic Green I saw coming, interesting that Titanium is going too. I suppose Sunlight Silver was the more popular of the two "greys"?

**** a white one... . This is the last thing my bank account wants to hear . It is a metallic white so that makes me feel a little bit better.
Mazda should have a white one long time ago
Maybe I should paint the crap out of it like EZZY... that will be cheaper than changing to another rotary. :D
Like to see you on the forum again nojooc.

Excellent - my titanium is now on the way to being a collector's item - not like those common blues and sunlight silvers (said with a lisp). :D :D
Now if we could just get them to reintroduce the yellow??

Don't know how to react with a white RX-8 with 2 tone red/black interior... I will be more sucked in if it is all red.
I think I will keep my black 8.

Geez, three blues and no green!
What do they have against green? There is (or was) quite a reasonable green for the MX5, and "British Racing Green" had a long tradition with sports and racing cars. Is it totally out of fashion, or considered unlucky or what??
Sad to see Titanium go - I thought it looked excellent - but rather nice for those lucky enough to own one now.

We chose Titanium Grey only because it was the last poverty pack car left at the dealers... Even the "heavy" pack cars were only available in silver, black and grey... We nearly signed up for the black one (looked great in the showroom), but I could not get the seat low enough so my head would clear the sunroof... (So glad we did not buy the black now - haven't got the time to polish a car before I go for a drive.... :D )
Never had a grey car before and the colour grows on you... It does not show the dirt like other cars we have owned... We can go weeks without washing the car now.

Thanks BVD and xxup for the comments on titanium.
Must say I agree re: getting away with washing it less, which is a real boon in drought. It is even more 'dirt resistant' than some of the silver cars I've owned.
And Gomez, better to be a young pup than an old mongrel!! :p :D :D

I know what you mean Taka, Pearl White would have been my first choice. Damn i have a 3 year wait till my lease is up!
