Anyone else like the blue color of X car?
 

I like it better than the winning blue. I'd order that color it were available! Anyone know the name of the color?

They are calling it "Mutant Blue". As far as I know it won't be available for production. There is talk of more options later in the production run however so you never know.

It's one of those 'flip-flop' colors. The highlights change with the light source. The color change is too burple (blue+purple) for me.

Same. When they showed winning blue on the website I immediately got turned off by the blue :(

I would have loved the deeper blue on the X car.

yea i'd love to see that kind of blue on a mps rx8... now that's a car.

I went to see it at the LA Auto Show and I thought the color was gorgeous! I did wonder how "burple" :) it would look out in the natural sunlight though. I also really liked the silver/black leather interior in it too. It would've been real temping to order that color combo if they had offered it!

I think the interior looks terrific. It would look simply awesome with the darker colors (titanium, Black, even the silver). Some of the exterior treatents are slick too.

I do wish the winning blue was darker - I'll have to see it in person to make a final determination.

Any good blue photo's out there?
 

I'd like to see some outdoor shots. rotorynews are ok but not the mac daddy they could be.

Winning Blue outdoors
 

They just posted a bunch of pics on www.rotarynews.com that include a few of the production blue outdoors.

Personally, from what I can tell so far, I like the "Winning Blue". (well, I did order an RX-8 in that color) I was hoping for a shade of blue that wasn't too dark, as I think a mid-tone shows off the body contours better, and can be seen more easily.

"Winning blue" reminds me of a color I saw on a Porsche 911 SC at an autoshow in the early eighties. Gorgeous, on that car anyway.
