another blue:

Note the difference in outdoor (above) and indoor (below) pic. Blue is awesome but I am in love with the the Red & Black interior not offered with the blue (+ i dont think the red interior would look good with blue exterior even if it was offered)

I've heard many people say Silver is too light. Is that right? I think the wheels look better with the silver than with the Grey.
The white/clear signals seem blended with the silver color. Do you think yellow signals would look good ??

Silver and Titanium look great. There was a burnt orange I say a long time ago, but I don't see it any more. Give me the black and red leather also.

Look closely at the picture of dials with the blue background light. It could be just the lighting at the show, but it looks as if the light doesn't make it to the bottom of the dials---starting around the "4" on the center tach guage. I hope that isn't a problem with the production models. Otherwise, it would look cheesy and cheap.

The backlighting was pretty even when I played with the prototype.

nordic green looks quite nice...almost blue, kinda like that black opal color on mercedes. to me winning blue seems a bit not right on the 8 for some reason...maybe i'd like a slightly different shade... white looks great! too bad it's not available in 'states. and yellow looks AWESOME

I don't think anyone's seen the car up close in silver yet, so your guess is as good as ours....

As far as I know, the only colors any of us has really seen are black, titanium, red, and blue. Anyone who HAS seen silver, feel free to correct me. Like anyone who drove it at Laguna Seca.

Yeah, it's a weird one this. I was sold on that colour for a while and then suddenly it stopped working on the RX-8. Pretty much the same shade on a 350Z looks fantastic but there's something about the shape of the RX-8 that means it doesn't seem to work for me. This is not to say that anyone who has ordered blue is crazy because if it works for them my opinion doesn't matter a fig. It's just not right for me though and that's odd because I really like blue cars!

The Sunlight Silver is available on the Mazda 6, I've also seen the colour swatch at my dealer.

This would be the closest match I've seen to the colour on a Mazda 6 at my Dealer.

Cheers

Self-multilation........cool.

Anyway, I personally believe all the colors shown look great. There won't be any losers, just as long as it says RX-8 on the car !

I saw the silver at the Houston Auto show and it looked pretty much like normal silver just a little bit lighter.

I think it looks really good but there are just to many dang silver cars out there on the roads for me to chose it.

I took the titanium.
