I've been saving up for the money to buy an 8 for the past year now...(keep in mind i'm only a junior in HS so its pretty damn hard to save up that much money) and finally when i'm at the dealers...i have this stupid question in my head which should be the easiest part...what color should i get?! right now...i think my two choices are the velocity red or the metallic blue...in the red i loooooooove the interior but the color of the metallic blue is just sick...this guy from the dealer is callin me up right when he gets the 2005 models in so let me know soon!...thanks in advance...oh yah...happy to join you guys in rx8club.com

 

go for red. the black/red interior is gonna make you much more happy than the exterior color, because you spend so much more time driving than looking at the outside.

 

Junior in high school and enough money to pay cash (assuming since a 17 year old can't finance) for an RX-8? What kind of afterschool job is that maybe I should quit my full time job. Get the blue.

 

Sounds like you want the blue. Go for it. You can't go wrong with either color. Either way, you're going to have a sweet ride. Kids at your school are going to go nuts. Start saving up for mods, heh heh.

By the way, why not an 04? It's the same car, but the 04's are cheaper.

 

You won't regret it, get it in titanium gray, i'm getting it that color because it does'nt look dirty when it get's dirty!...Plus i like the way it brings out the outline of the car!
but it's your choice dude, i'm just suggesting this color because it's my favorite color for the RX-8, it's like a silver bullet!!! :D

 

hahahaha...nah i'm financing but under my dad's name...anybody that loved the black and red two tone but settled for the black interior...tell me how your 8 is treatin you...

 

Get Titanium Grey. The chicks dig it.

 

yah my friends are already goin crazy that i'm gettin it...but i really wanna burn this kid with a SRT - 4...idc if it has 300 horses...ITS STILL AN UGLYA$$ NEON!!...i'm getting the 2005 cause my dad always wants the newer one if he can...i told him i could get it fully loaded at like 33 if i got the 2004 but...he won't let me settle for something like that...idk...i don't mind as long as he puts the extra money in and i finally get my babyyyy :-D

 

The sound of the rotary engine is what makes driving a thrill. The exterior color is what makes stepping out of the car a thrill. Who cares what color your seat is? :p

 

Black.

Black with the black / red interior is the only way to go, honestly. You'll regret anything else (though you'll regret black every second day for having to clean it).

 

Stock for stock the Neon will beat the RX-8 in a straight line, if the neon is modified forget it. Buy a porsche 911 turbo then show that neon whats up.

 

lol hell no i'm not racing that thing in a straight line...i'll just be passing by the lil' biatch with 3 other girls in the car...see what kinda girls would be sittin in an SRT-4 compared to an RX-8...shiiieeeet

 

yogi bear in jellystone

 

No complaints with all black inside. The red/black looks sharp, but I don't know how it will hold up with time.

 

ok...not to be a lil' harsh or anything but this has only made my decision harder...all these new colors to think about now that i wasn't thinking about before!! please can the answers be either...Blue with black interior...or Red with black and red interior...thanks in advance...

 

I have the V'Red with the black/red interior and I love it and so does everyone that has seen my car. Us Red's have to stick together.

 

i really don't know...ahhhh if only the red was more of a metallic red like the blue...i think i'm leaning towards the red right now...but not until i get more advice from rx8 ownersss...

 

Yellow/black.

EVERYONE notices.

:D

 

Back to Titanium Grey...

Get it. Everyone will know you're an ***. :p

 

Red outside, black cloth inside. Excellent interior. I wouldn't mind the red and black, but the black alone is pleasing to the eye and the cloth grips my backside well and never gets too hot.

I love the red. It's an amazing color with those gold flecks in it.

In a few days, I will have had my 8 for a year. I am convinced now that it is the best car I've ever driven, and I've driven quite a few nice cars. It is a fantastic machine. Light, precise, reliable, tossable, composed, sophisticated, gorgeous, quick, fast, responsive, high-revving, spacious, comfortable, luxurious ... it's got it all.

 

Yep me too!! Red with Black and red leather!! good colors. The red had to grow on me though. Never owned a red car before. It shines rather nice when its clean. Its looking like for the 05s white appears to be in too. Not sure about the white ones though.

 

Tough decision!

I was set on the blue, until a couple of weeks ago. I went to the dealer and saw the blue and red side-by-side.

Now I just don't know.

 

Lightning Yellow is the ONLY color. Not that I'm biased.

But, if your parents are signing for it, then it's their car and not yours. Don't forget that.

Oh and go smack your dad for me and say "A parent on the RX8 web club wants to know "what the hell are you thinking buying your kid a car with this much performance."

Yes, I'm prejudiced. I can easily afford to do this for my sons, but I love them too much to let them kill themselves with a high performance car.

 

Red is classic, especially with the red and black seats. Everyone loves a red sports car. Blue is riskier, more hip. Do you want to be Tom Sellick or Wolverine? :D

Of course, the true classic, the hallmark of refinement and impeccable taste, the color of my RX-8...

Silver.

 

thanks you guys...now this is helping...i think i'm going with the red mos def now...oh yah and btw...i just got the 2005 Mazda RX-8 brochure in the mail so if anybody wants any information on the options or anything...ask me
