your pics were the ones that actually made me consider the white. very nice pics, and very nice car. and all black is definitely the way to go with the white exterior. decisions, decisions...

I saw a couple of the pearl white with red/black interior at a local dealer. Very nice close up where you can see the irredescence in the paint. From further back, it looked a little plainer particularly in comparison to the very hot red one next to it. I think the curves of the RX8 lends itself to darker colors, but thatl's just my opinion. I haven't seen any white ones on the road here in SoCal, so that makes it a little more special. Maybe that's not the case in FL.

You can't make a decision before you see it in real life. And the all black leather interior looks very nice with the white exterior (I like it because there are only two colors, white and black, on the entire car besides the silver rims). Good luck with your choice.
Go ahead and get black though, help keep the white more exclusive :D :p

Oh man, more nice white pics! Where are the great black rx-8 pics? I think the guys with the white cars have better cameras and/or are better photagraphers.
What color interior whitehot?

All black interior... I'm almost Konig's twin except no sunroof or clear corners (yet). I've actually always wanted a black car, but I figured it would be too hot. There are some really great photos of black RX8's floating around, like this.

good deal whitehot, did you have to do a lot of negotiating to get it down to 28?
rhawb, thanks for the pics, looks great in black too. i'm gonna have to eventually have the dealer put the black and the white next to each other and even then i'll probably have to wind up flipping a coin.

I love my Black Rx8, because it has that mystery look which I catch everyone wherever I go staring at it. The downside to the black for me is water spots and dust.
But when the car is completley clean and polished its one mean looking **** :-)

guys, thanks for all the responses to my inital questions. i'm gonna be test driving the 8 tomorrow for the first time, so wish me luck. after reading through this forum, my expectations are pretty high, hopefully the car will live up to it. i plan to also test a 350 Z and a TL before making a decision on the 8 as well.
