If I were to get mine again I would go with the Ti Grey.. I really like the black when it's clean and shiny, it's very beautiful - but man is it a chore to keep clean... My first black car and I didn't really know how quickly they go from showroom shiny clean to layer-of-dust

I parked beside a black GT (Cdn version) the other day, and they both looked great. Provided you've got the time to handwash and Zaino/Zymol it regularly, the black may have an edge. With the kind of weather conditions we have up here in Calgary, the Ti-Grey is going to be lower maintenance.

Cheers

Titanium can go a month without a wash and still look good (except for the wheels). My last car was a black RX-7, and I said never again... I love the Titanium.

Wow... that black JDM MS 8 looks incredible with the polished rims. I have /got/ to get those rims for my summer tires.

Oh, and black rocks! When combined with the black/chaparral interior-> Classy, meet bad-***. Bad-***, say hello to classy.

Imagine you're crusing down the boulevard in your black RX-8 and you see a titanium RX-8 going the other way. How do you feel?

Now try it the other way.

Ok, does that make it any easier? Probably not! :D

Something tells me you really want the black.
