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.

At night it will probably be mistaken for black most of the time.

After seeing the Winning Blue my jaw hit the ground. I was tempted to change... but then I saw the Titanium too right after for the first time and then my jaw created a 4 foot deep hole. :D
Titanium all the way!
Titanium all the way!

I'm happy with the color, specially since I've looked many times at the blue I initially wanted and I'm glad I didn't get it.
Red is just a big no-no in Jersey where insurance is the highest in the country.

NJ is a police state like crazy, and insurance is already high enough, inviting tickets by buying a red car is asking to get raped.

I am also VERY upset that white is not an option for the US. I e-mailed my father countless pictures of the white rx-8 in hopes he could somehow manage to get one sent here for me. (He's corporate Mazda) He sent me back an e-mail (a while back) that shwoed the chain of people it went through in Mazda and their responses. No way I can get it unless I have it painted after it arrives here. My father discouraged me from that, telling me that it would immediately depreciate the value of the car, and they might screw it up. It looks like its Sunlight Silver for me. I was told that it has been brought up at some of the meetings and it very well could be an option in the next few years. If Mazda thinks there is a market for it, you can bet they will make it available . I want that white RX-8!

Hi,
I ordered the winning blue, from pictures posted on the web it looks lighter than the mutant blue X car. I was hoping it would be more like the Daytona blue of the Z, but it looks lighter.
So far I think I made the right choice. I had a red pontiac firebird the first knightrider model - my cousin worked for pontiac and got one of the first ones in 1982. So I didn't want another red car although it looks great. I have a black laser and it's a bitch to keep clean so I didn't want to go with another black car.
The silver and grey look great but I'm sick and tired of seeing silver cars on the road. So I went with the blue, not having seen the car in green at the time of ordering. Forget the yellow to wishy-washy. It doesn't seem like many other people ordered the blue, I like being different. The dealer said if I didn't like the blue when it came in he would have no problem getting rid of it - I would just have to order another.
