Hows about that "Winning Blue Metallic"?

So I currently have the Red RX-8 as you can see (with spoiler, not pictured). My lease is up in a month or so and I'm wondering about maybe switching to the Blue? Its 2006, you'd think a car web site would maybe let you look at actual pictures of actual cars, instead of a magical cartoon looking low res single image of an 8 that can change colors. I know I need to go to a dealer and see one in person, but this is a preliminary step :-D Anyone have any high res daytime pictures of thier blue 8, clean

Blue looks 10x better in real life than in pictures, I think.

I have some great daytime pics of my Winning blue. The sun is shining all over it. Unfortunately I am at work. I will PM you some pics of her when I get home today.

Its true blue is the fastest color out there. You should see a gain of at LEAST 20hp over your current red 8.

Here's a post with nearly 20 pages of blues
https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/calling-all-winning-blues-23169/

And a couple of mine at night (when the blue really shines!)





And finally a post that has my favorite blue 8 on the forums (minus maybe the wing although this car pulls it off nicely).

I'd say she's better off going with Blue. It's much cleaner when it's dirty. And it gets a lot more attention(except for the white) here in San Diego. AND, IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER AT NIGHT!!!
