Regarding the storm visibility issue. I'm not sure that LockandLoad ever picked up on the fact that people were talking about OTHER car's lights, not the lights in the car you're driving. (LockandLoad, the idea wasn't that YOUR lights help you SEE, it was instead that YOUR lights (or other peoples lights) will help to be SEEN in such inclimate conditions.

I will conceed that gray, silver, etc. "match" the color of a stormy horizon but as was pointed out, big honkin-red tail lights stand out under those conditions. And, I agree from my experience, it's the tail lights that I see when making my way through heavy rain or dense fog, not the car's paint color.

The extension of don't drive grey-ish cars in the rain is "don't drive black cars at night." Not a logical argument to be made for either, given that the rear end of the car lights up like a Christmas tree.

Never hurts to state the obvious...headlights in oncoming cars will have the same effects attributed to tail-lights in forward-bound cars described above....

Nordic green cant be beat! I like that it looks like black or a dark grey color at nite and during the day the sun brings out the metallic green. I always get questions from people asking what color it is. Its definitely an original color......

I chose Titanium for my RX8 because it looked great, and I hoped to avoid being even more obvious to the State Troopers. I also figured that getting a red or yellow RX would give my friends and co-workers even more amunition for claiming I was going through a mid-life crisis. There was no crisis, I just loved the way this car drove.

On a side note, every person who as seen my car has commented how great the color is...

but why ask us???? What is your preference?

I'd go with Red, Blue or Black....In that order.

Fancy that i would have thought being a young adult you would be a little bit more adventorous and go for a bright colour like yellow .
