Who's got an White '05 in Canada?
Can you post some pics for me?
Going to be placing my order on an '05 GT tomorrow. I really want White but I am not convinced on White by the photo's in the Multimedia forum.
Is the US body slightly different from the Canadian, something just looks different to me from all the photos I have seen to the cars I have seen in person here. I can't put my finger on it and there probably is no difference...

Mentalhealth is overrated
I saw one up at Sunridge mazda a while back....you take a unique sports car that stands out in the crowd and slap white paint on it and it disappears. I've never been a fan of white on any car with bold lines. White tends to under play the curves of the car.

Since you are in the GTA, get out to some of the dealers. Many of them have white sitting on the showroom floor or somewhere on the lot.
You have to see the white in person to actually tell what it looks like.
Personally I think it doesn't look good at all, but that's just my opinion. (looks worse in person)

Anyone know a dealer anywhere in the GTA that has a White sitting on the lot?

Ajax Mazda sold one last week. They do not have anymore white ones in stock, but have 18 other RX-8's in stock (largest selection in Canada) and can try to locate one in white and trade with other dealers. Let me know if you are interested; I can introduce you to the sales manager and he said they are willing to give a really good price (cost + 
). Send me a private message (click on Shogun) and I can tell you the actual price and can hook up to introduce you to the sales manager if your interested.

Meh nothing special about the white to me. I don't mind it but to me it's very plain jane. I would have rather kept the yellow around but what can you do?
Anyhoo, I took some pics of the white on the dealer's lot in Calgary back in Nov. The two pics of the paint are fairly accurate of what you'd see on a sunny day. Hope it helps!

Nice pics Blue,
The white mazda offers is called a Snowflake Pearl White so that is the metallic you see in the paint. It also has a very small play of colours when viewed on a sunny day.
Overall I would agree with the group that white is a more subdued colour than the Red, Blue or Yellow.
If the truth be known it wasn't my first choice but I was going to have to wait too long to get a the colour and Iwanted and I just couldn't be without my 8! However that being said I have since owning it become quite attached to the colour (mmm maybe I baised). I saw a blue one at the D&B meet last Sunday and I couldn't believe how much I liked it, I almost wish I had of ordered on of those. Really sharp colour. While I've got the thread hi-jacked I would like to mention one more thing, white is drop dead simple to take care, I have a black Grand National and it's 100 times more work keeping that colour looking clean and waxed etc. Anyways back to the thread topic.
Yes I own a 05 White RX8
If you like we can arrange something for this Sunday May 1st or perhaps if it's easier I'll be in Concord (the 400 and 7 area) this Monday to Thursday (May 2nd to May 5th) maybe we could arrange to meet somewhere after 4:30 pm?

^^ That's the second time that you've highjacked the thread, this time you highjacked it with some eye-catching crack 
I saw a white one when I was on a trip to Hawaii in Feb. I thought that it was nice. I'd actually rather have the white one than the yeller one. The yellow one wasn't really my first pick, it was just the last one available at the dealer when I went to buy the 8.

Is there a Toronto or an Ontario Club? Does it have it's own website?

Congrats!!!
Personally I love the pearl white color. Pretty sad, but it is the reason I finally decided to get the '8' (once the white was released).
It REALLY needs the clear front corner lenses tho!
