Wish I could see the colors in person before ordering, but no chance of that. Originally ordered the blue, but switched to sunlight silver with red interior after seeing the Rotarynews Laguna Seca pics.

i'm wondering why not more people like the yellow? i think it's AWSOME. Yellow is one of the most popular colors for cars this year. and i think even 350Z is coming out with a yellow color next year. if i get a 8, i'll definately go with yellow....it's hot, attractive and ..eye catching ...chix dig that :D
i have one question tho, do they have the yellow leather trim on the seats like some of the pictures shown online (of course, it goes with yellow exterior)? cuz i looked at the mazda website, and all they show on the interior color is black, gray and read leather.

yellow interior
it is unfortunate that yellow insert is not available as an interior color (but i guess the only color it would go with is yellow anyway). however, the other day i was in a mazda dealer and saw a yellow protege 5 with a custom interior. it had black leather with yellow inserts! and it both looked and felt great, very nicely and professionaly done. so maybe the same can be applied by the dealer or on your own to duplicate the interior of the show car...

Best bet would be to do your own custom leather interior (and become one of the ricer boys).

Has anybody seen a titanium car with leather/tan interior ? Does it look good ?
I wanted a titanium with black leather but it is not available in Canada. Thus, I might switch to blue with black interior.
Any comments ?

Initially I ordered titanium color with black leather.
Unfortunately, in Canada they only have titanium with black/tan interior and really i do not care for it.
I contacted Mazda Canada but they are not interested in changing the color options.

Nuisance:
I'm having to delay my (UK) order for the car because the initial colours don't appeal to me. We are getting black, silver, red & titanium in the first batch. I thought titanium would be OK but having seen other cars in that colour I decided against it. British skies are so grey that the car will disappear! So bearing in mind that I dislike yellow I'm left with blue or green in the subsequent deliveries (whenever that will be - anyone know?) and without doubt green appeals the most. Perhaps I'm crazy to wait many months just because of the colour but hey: if a job's worth doing then it's worth doing well!
Postscript: well it's several days later and I've ordered a blue car for delivery later in the year. Nice!

Changed from blue to titanium today (after some hassle with Mazda and the UK website) because the blue seems too light in most of the photos I've seen. It's noticeable that the only official Mazda image of the blue (on the Japan site) is heavily in shadow to make the colour look darker. I PhotoShop enhanced it and it looked way too light for my taste. Colours are totally subjective so it's what suits the observer that counts. The car will look great in any of the colours it's just finding one that suits you best that's the issue.

Had to be blue. I did toy with the green, but the limited information I could find (I haven't seen a single photo of it in natural light) suggested that it's very dark. My current car is BRG and I certainly wouldn't go any darker than that.
Lensman, I saw your Photoshop job and it looked "overexposed" on my monitor at least. In terms of overall brightness I'd put the blue somewhere between the silver and titanium based on what I've seen so far, probably closer to titanium.
