Black, but I'd really like to see what they will all look like in person ... and then I might change my mind. My wife would like me to choose Titanium....

*EDIT* I took the liberty of adding "Grace Green" to that poll, Boowana. Let me know if you don't want it on there.

Question

Do we really know all the colors, yet?

Think I'll wait a few days and think about it before I take this poll. I have been wavering between titanium (hard to touch-up the paint if you get a scratch), blue (depending on what shade it is and how it looks on the car), and black (what my girlfriend wants me to get). I really like black, but it gets dirty easily (although I am religious about washing my cars).
Life's full of hard decisions.

Black, baby!!!!

Almost any sports car looks good in black--with equal ~20% tint on all the windows. I'm getting a hard on just thinking about it (I apologize in advance for offending anybody with that statement)!!!

We have a pretty good idea from this thread.

The colors were translated as:
grace green
black
red
yellow
titanium
silver
blue pacific

Here is a layout of the Mazda 6's colors, some of which are named similarly:


It's hard to tell if the titanium shown here will be the same as the titanium gray on the 2002 Miata Special Edition.

*EDIT* Ya know, I can't help but notice that white is missing from that list...

I voted for red, as I'm a sucker for a shiny red machine, but the blue might be striking enough on the '8 to sway me. I do like the blue on the 6 I saw at SevenStock.

I really want a blue one, especially if it's the deep blue that we've seen pictures of or like the blue BMW uses on their M5's. I liked the color of the car from the X-men trailer, I would be happy with that. I just hope the blue doesn't suck, like the ones you can hardly tell from black- no Easter egg blues either.

My rank of preferences:

Blue
Black
Garnet Red Mica

As a service to everyone else on this board I will get a Yellow to distract the cops from the other RX-8s.

This is a hard one- if the titanium is the same color as the one on the Miata, if i can get red seats I'm ALL over that.

Steve (my husband) just piped up he wants yellow with 2-toned seats, and seemed pretty put out when I told him we didn't think they were making it like that...

The red and metallic blue are pretty too- I think I'll just have to see them all in person before I make my decision!

Sputnick:

I don't think it hurts to add the Green. My information did not include it and sometimes there can be variances by country. For example, green may sell in Germany (you know all those damn forests) and not sell here.

Leave it on, just in case they decide to add it.

Regarding the Titanium; as best as I can figure out by the paint code on the German writeup, it is the same as the 2002 Miata S.E

Who is to say that the "silber" isn't that same, or close to the "silver storm"? Remember, we haven't seen these colors in person yet...

I'd have to see them on the car, I think. But if it came in Pearl, I'd order it unseen.
