Which colour have you ordered

Just thought it might be interesting to see which are the popular choices, I have ordered red but would have choosen yellow or blue if available at launch.

We've had an unoficial survey before.

Looks like lots of reds, slightly less Titaniums and sundry rest.

I had a tough choice between titanium , red and the green.

Green was in the end too dark unless under direct bright sunlight, then its stunning.

Red, well I like it in isolation, but I just dont see any red cars on the roads I like the look of. I never look at a red car and think 'that looks good' , or look at another colour and think that'd look great in red...

for me it was either silver or titanium. - Silver is to common these days on all cars.

dont like the red.

The green well great though it is i couldnt have another green car ARGG!!!

My previous cars -

Astra - blue
Carlton - racing green
Volvo T4 - Summer Green ( equivalent to British racing green)
IS200 - Kensington Green (pearlescent effect - nice!!)


Another green would just kill me....:D :D :D

I too had an IS200 in the green, I must admit i viewed it after delivery as a bit of an OAP's colour and much wished I'd got the steel grey as they called it which is very similar to the RX8 titanium.
I just took my BMW up to the garage for a Valet and noticed a fabulous colour which was on a B3 Alpina, it was a sort of jade green metallic.

Are there really only 25 people on this site that have ordered a car or are people not wanting to post?
I knew the Titanium was popular but didn't realise it would have such a majority.

Personally I have gone for Black as it is the colour that will show the dirt most, therefore giving me the perfect excuse for lovingly caressing the car every day.

Sorry I got a bit carried away, I meant wash the car every time it gets a bit dirty.

Amazing that there are so many Titaniums - obviously not safety conscious - at dusk or in gloomy weather cars this colour are nearly invisible - of course if you switch your xenons on you will be seen from a long way off...

I originally oredered Black, but felt the front wing vents would not get shown off, as they too are black. Wnet in the end for Titanium Grey. If the vents were mesh chrome, I would have stuck with Black.

Nice to see a few have ordered the "later arrival" colours.
Since it has been claimed that these later colours were heading for a Nov availability, could it not be the case with the dates slipping all the time that I might have a better chance of getting a first batch yellow than a "back of the queue" Red (considering I only ordered the red a few weeks ago)

I dont know why the 'late arrival colours' are arriving late.

The 1st ship to the US had ALL colours onboard, so they have been produced, I cant see any reason why we dont get the whole range from day 1.
