Hey guys, tomorrow night I am ordering my mazda rx8.
Today i'm not very happy, for 1 reason, i'm absolutely torn between the Titanium gray and the brilliant black.
I just got back from the dealership and I parked the black right next to the gray, but the gray had appearance/spoiler and black was just straight.

Although when i purchase, i will be getting (GT package, appearance, rotary, tints, spoiler).

I CANNOT choose, i'm absolutely torn between the two colors.

Although I know that the black will be the 2 tone red interior and the gray will not be a 2 tone (unless black/gray).

I've seen billions of pictures of these 2 colors, but i have not seen many black ones (hooked up appearance wise).

I know black is hard to keep clean and the gray is too but NOT AS MUCH!

Deadline is tomorrow. I"m purchasing it tomorrow night. Although by then i MUST come to a decision.

If you are an owner of either of the 2 colors with the appearances i listed above PLEASE show a picture and or tell me why you purchased that color.

I know its my personal decision, but honestly i cannot decide, i'm stressing very much and have decided to come to you guys for this decision.
PLEASE POST YOUR RX8 (if it meets either of these specs, doesn't have to be Grand Tour.) AND TELL ME WHY!!!

Hope to hear from you soon, and thanks in advance.
A bit about me:
I'm 17 and like to be seen keep that in mind as well.
I'm a buisness man (so i got that buisness look... gotta keep it clean).
Tanned skin.

I leave this decision in YOUR hands. PLEASE HELP Rx8 CLUB!

I like the titanium gray and the brillian black...If I were you I would get black /w red and black interior. I always like darker colors for some reasons...

That's very funny how the choice of the color is pertubating. I'm the same but i torn between enven more color titanium, black, green and red. Titanium and black are very nice but i an other way i don't want to see the same car at every corner.

good luck but i can't help you

17 and already a business man? well anyways... black or titanium gray huh? Well personally I bought the titanium, the black is just too hard to keep clean, however I do have this obsession with constantly cleaning my titanium. Honeslty, both your choices have the same appeal. Both colors look professional, and very classy. Scratches can be more noticible on black...etc.. this definitely is a hard decision, guess you'll just have to go with your personal favorite... don't stress so much, both colors are great. If you wanna stand out, look around you. If your city has lots of tit gray rx-8's then buy a black on, and likewise... happy choosing, and good luck!

A lot of people have the gray. The black with red is more unique, and better looking. I originally was going to get gray - until I discovered that many others were getting it. If you don't mind cleaning it more often, get the black.

Anyways, please keep posting, i need to know why you chose the black or the titanium, and for those whom have black, is it really THAT hard to keep clean!?

I was at the dealership ready to buy it but then looking at the black side view i saw like circular scratches n ****.. it sorta made me move away, but NOTHING compares to its interior .

Hey monte,

I wanna go with Titanium if i ever get one.
Im a flasher like you www.said7.com

Hit me up on aim sometime. saidsevn is my aim name.

This car looks sooo good in any color!!!!!

I too am having this problem of which color. Tommorrow I go and pick. It started as the Titanium gray with black/chap, now I am stuck on the RED with black/chap interior. It has been hard to find this combo fully loaded.

Most people think its a sports car and should be red, and I always wanted a red vette while growing up. When I first talked to my insurance guy, and told him the color was the tit gray, he said oh yea, the color like wet pavement at night! It did get me thinking about night time visibility and that it seems many of the 8's that getting wrecked are silver which is harder to see.

Flip a coin!!!!!!

monte

Damnit you guys are no help!! LOL!

YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHICH ONE!! and why!

Also, i mean considering my age, i'm going to have a few restrictions on my brand new car for the first month(s), such as no night time driving (real late) and no takeing this baby to dangerous places

Thats why i was thinking black, because I THINK it looks best in day light... do you?

Keep posting (AND TELL ME WHICH ONE! 30k decision, in your hands!)

Monte, I would pick the Tit. over the black in a heartbeat. Black is beautifu when clean but very hard to keep it that way.

But don't ask me to pick between the red and tit that fast!

I had to choose from those exact colors....I ended up with black. Mainly because I never owned a black car before(i've owned 2 gray FC's) and though I haven't seen many RX8's on the road, the many I've seen were either gray or silver.

I still want a blue one. Maybe next year I'll get one for the wife. or me...hahaha

I had to choose between Black, Titanium, and Yellow many months ago. At first I was all over the Titanium. I thought it was a very nice color, and I thought black might not show off the body lines quite enough. The Titanium shows them off a bit more (IMO) and I thought Yellow would be too funky.

Then, I saw a picture of a Yellow one. I fell in love, and ordered it. I couldn't be more happy. When I picked mine up, someone else's black 8 was sitting right next to mine ready for pickup. The black looks wicked sweet. I still like how the yellow immediately catches your eye like no other color (except maybe the blue)... If I had to pick between the two (black and titanium) now though, I would pick the titanium. Their both very classy colors, but I still feel the Titanium shows the lines of the car off a bit better (creases and all). Either way, the car looks great in either color.

monte

Exactly! The titanium pics up on the "creases" and the body lines. EXACTLY what i thought last night when i put them side by side and compared.

Although i can't decide at all... black is beautiful, and so is the gray!

Although with the apperanaces i think the gray MIGHT look better.. BUT I DON"T KNOW!!

keep posting guys, each post helps.. KEEP IT UP!

In all honesty...I LOVE the yellow. It is my favorite of them all. But...yellow would be too much cop-bait. If I only drove my 8 on weekends...then hell yeah, yellow is my pick. It looks incredible. Ever seen one with the factory polished or chrome wheels? It's orgasmic.......


anyway...get the black!!

TownDrunk

I saw a picture of a yellow 8 at a show with polished factory wheels... That's why I picked the yellow. And yes, I only drive my car on the weekends... checking my mirrors constantly.

personally I would pick the titanium. my last vehicle *sniff was a well dressed durango of just a slightly lighter tone of this color. my friend had the soma model in black and while it looked ok the silver (actually dark platinum) was so much more attractive and still looked better when mine was dirty and his was clean. by the way im torn betwen the titanium and the yellow.

monte

O lordy this is not making it any easier on me guys

Tonight i'm getting a car lol, i'm very excited and very happy. Yet very very stressed at what color i want.

Keep up the posts.

I'm leaning towards the black (ONLY BE CAUSE OF INTERIOR)

Gray i love cuz of the outside appearance... such a tough decision.

jtimbck2

I have the Titanium Gray RX-8. My partner has a black Infiniti FX35. Guess whose car looks better after a rain! (mine) I will probably never own a black car, it's just too hard to keep clean!

My last car was a very dark blue (almost black) BMW, it was just as bad as black.

BLACK

mikeb

get the white j/k

RX-GR8

get whatever color they have then get it repainted in the 350Z brickyard color.

b/t black and titanium, i'd pick the titanium, mostly 'cuz it's a more interesting color and doesn't hide the lines of the 8 as much as the black. i do concede that 8 looks good in any color :D but titanium is the in color right now, and it is a very nice color, almost w/ a slight hint of blue hue in it, and it does look very good on the 8

but personally i'd either get lightning yellow or velocity red. the 8 deserves exciting colors :p and i've always been a sucker of yellow

congratulations i wish i was ordering my 8 tonight

Nubo

what kind of businessman do you feel you are?

formal/classy w/ well-heeled clientele - go for the black


younger, techno/industrial/gritty/creative w/ hip clientele - get the Ti.


Or.... just get what you like! :D

monte

i feel i'm the young cool, rich underdog that likes to be seen by the young girlies.

when i pull in its like whoa. When i walk outta it, i'm goin to look suave (right now i go to a catholic school so i have to wear a white shirt w.a tie n cream dockers...)

but ofcourse it has to be sporty as hell!

hehe keep up the posts
