How many Yellow RX-8 were made?
I know that they were available for only 1 year (04), but do we know how many were made?
I'd like to know for statistical and bragging reasons

The production run of yellow 8's was a mistake at the factory. Someone forgot to add certain pigments to the paint when they were supposedly painting red 8's. Instead of spending the money on rework or simply scrapping them, they were quick on their feet and threw a marketing blitz together. Sold the whole run and took steps that insured the pigments would always be correct from then on.

Insanely Yellow
Being part of the Lightning Yellow brigade, I have to say:
1) VERY FEW - it's a rare day you see a yellow RX-8.
2) Whoever said Yellow is for cowards must be driving a red car!
3) See the Lightning Yellow thread
Ain't no better color for this car ... and I still to this day can't believe they substituted "Rental Car White" for Lightning Yellow.

I know for a fact there are well more than 500 yellow Rx-8's. Here's my logic (in NO way is this science or fact) My old 2000 Ford Escort ZX2 S/R edition was limited edition to 2000 made. 1000 were painted yellow, 500 red and 500 black. They split that right down the center in distribution between here and canada so for a fact there are only 500 yellow escort ZX2 S/R editions in the states (on the S/R ZX2's were painted yellow, red and black were common colors though). And I have only seen ONE of those other than my own in person. Whereas the yellow Rx8's I've seen a few per locale I've been in (southeastern VA, Jacksonville NC, Northern VA/DC, Atlanta GA, and a few others). Again, that's no stated fact or anything, but I've heard way more of my friends tell me "they saw my car" since I've gotten my Rex than I did with my Ford. Hope that makes sense.
Side note - I'm really interested in the official answer myself. I don't see why Mazda wouldn't release these numbers if we just asked.
