They sell Strato blue in France but not Italy. So I am not sure where else they sell them. I think UK may have that color. If they had that here it would have taken me awhile to decided between that one and Winning Blue. Of course, I probably still would have gotten Winning Blue. Isn't Strato blue like hte one on X-men?

I saw a Phantom Blue Mazda5 in person at one of the dealerships here. It looked okay when it was more shadowed from direct light but when the light hits it, it lookd really ugly to me. It looks like a dark blue color until the light hits it, which is okay. But then it reflects back this pea green kind of color on top of the blue, which I can't say that I cared for too much. It might look better on an 8 but I haven't seen one to know.

 

I saw an 8 last night that must have had a paint job or something, I thought it was black at first, but it was a really dark grey like gun metal, with metallic chips in it. It looked nice.

Ooh, good idea--that may help me decide between cheap 05 now and waiting.
