I just got a new Rx8 in the stormy blue mica with the sand. It's so sweet. I thought about waiting, but when I saw the color, i had to get it. i was driving a 330ci, and fellas, the rx8 kicks its *** (overall). zoom zoom. i have pics of one that looks just like her, but this one isn't mine (i don't think).

Ahh I like the interior color and the Stormy Blue Mica.

Too bad it would look funny in a Sunlight Silver car.


Welcome to the club myriadshalaks, and guidosrx8.

Wait did they get rid of the silver back on those seats?

Is it still a hard plastic on the back or is it all leather?

Mmmm... I love the stormy blue. The cherry shinka was my favorite till I saw the new blue color. The interior looks good too.

2006+ models have leatherette (most likely the material) on the back. I think it is nicer than the hard plastic. Much less likely to get scuffed up and show it.

I love Stormy Blue with the Sand interior. Inside and out--beautiful.

I'd get some winter tires if you are regularly on ice and snow though.

i agree about the leather all the way round the seat. it adds a bit of class and is easier on the rear passengers' knees.
I really love this car more than any car I've ever owned.

Glad you got a 6M and not a slush box.

That color is great, but it is just begging for wheels

Nice choice, enjoy the car. I have a stormy blue with sand interior and I love it. Best color IMHO (obviously).
