I'm sure glad I got my lightning yellow!

Check out the body color page on Mazda's Japan website, yellow is no more! http://www.rx-8.mazda.co.jp/style03.html

 

 

RX-HACHI

The yellow has been removed here in Australia as well, in my area their is only 5 yellow rx8s and 3 of those are automatics .
Yellow rocks .

 

Yup, yellow rocks! I love yellow on sports cars. Mazda has done it again, just like the 3rd Gen RX-7 and the Miata, yellow was limited to a one year run. Our cars will be a little more collectable now for the future RX-8 yellow wannabees.

 

I wonder if Mazda will bring white to overseas market then...

Bad luck yellow

 

congrats to the yellow owners ,i never like the yellow bit to bold for me .i quess it's because i'm in my 40's .even though i test drove the yellow i liked driving it for the weekend but did not want to own one.the good news is in my town their is only 2 blue's and they cant get any more .mine's a 6speed and the other is an automatic.

 

what is it with yellow and autos? i know of only one yellow here in the desert, and it is an auto!

 

I see that they now offer Hunter Green, though. My old MX-6 was that color, and I love it.

If I'd been able to get my 8 in that color, I would have.

Oh well.

 

They better!!!

I have waited and waited and waited for white.

but hey, all this waiting gave me time to save up my downpayment, 100%

 

100% downpayment---very nice

 

you yellow owners must be happy.... I'd have a big *** grin on my face if i owned a yellow one.

Yellow is still available in Canada

 

What!, but not for 05 right.
please say right

 

I've had a big *** grin ever since I picked mine up in September, this is just party bonus

 

Right. Canada and US websites still reflect the '04 year, once the '05 update is done to the websites, yellow will be gone. If they don't offer it in Japan, they won't offer it anywhere else.

 

I would love a Yellow RX8 if it wasn't for stupid people who would try to waive at my car thinking it was a taxi. I used to have a Yellow CRX and it got very annoying. So I am guessing the yellow will have a better resale and collectors value now.

 

I had my pick of crop in February when I got mine. They had every single color all loaded with every single option and different interior color choices. In fact they had over 80 to chose from. The Yellow was just too loud for me, but I know 10 years ago I would have considered it. I ended up going with black, but since I plan on trading this car in for the mazdaspeed in 3 years or so, I really don't care about rarity. For those of you yellow owners who will keep car forever, congrats, and enjoy your future rarity.

 

Yellow is a happy calming colour and a lot of the older RX8 owners who are confident with who they are end up buying them , unfortunetily they buy Autos as they cant drive stick .

I personally never buy a crappy AUTO in a rotary engine rotary and Automatics dont gel .

I live in between NYC and Philadelphia, and I searched the inventory and it has 70 of them left, and 10 of them are autos. Still time to get one new, especially if you want to be different and have a future collector car. Personally I want one in every color.

 

:D well time will tell if they carry extra value like CYM FD's do.

 

The value to me as an owner is not so much in its money re-sale terms but the fact that not every Tom Dick Harry or Mohammed is driving a yellow one .

The value is in its rarity .

cheers

The yellow is/was so damn cool!!

I got the red, but everytime I see the yellow at the dealership, I gawk at it.


Now.. what's this about Hunter Green??? ...oh, is that just 'Nordic'?

 

I love my Yellow.I do not care about value. I agree with lock & load,at least i want see myself as much. thats the reason i picked yellow.

 

yellow is gone from canada ....

I kinda like it that way

White it too plain for a sports car ... IMO
