I think the colors are just fine in the US. I wish they would make the Shinka Black Cherry a standard color, beautiful.

Why buy an R3? You just get a set of shocks, a foam cross-member, and a body kit...which you're gonna replace anyway.

I actually thought the black mica was brown at first but I actually think it would look good in a dark brown.

It's a really cool color... depending on how clean the car is/how much light there is it can go from looking black, to charcoal, to a sparkley yellowy brown, one cop even thought it was green >_<. A lot of people ask if it's an aftermarket color.

I love it at dusk when the half of the car in the sun looks charcoal and the other half looks black.

and stormy blue mica > wb

yeah, it's strato blue but it was called stormy blue in the US. Black is probably my favorite color for cars, but when I first saw a stormy blue I have to admit I was a little sad that I already had my black 8. If I ever have to get my car repainted or if I get another 8 then I'll definitely put stormy blue on the top of my list.

First of all 8 Maniac- you're crazy if you think that purple 8 with mustard rims is anywhere close to the WB. And secondly, **** the colo(u)rs, I want those R3 seats now! If they were on cameros or srt-8's or something I would so steal a set lol.... can't so that to an 8 owner though, lol.

Didn't realize the color choices on the 2010 RX-8 were limited to 3 colors.

But even on a new 2010 MS3 - Black, red, silver and some ugly blue.
