Sorry, I cannot discuss where I got this information, just to say that it is from a reliable source within Mazda. :D

There will be only ONE change to the 2005 RX-8: The color Lightning Yellow has been discontinued. In it's place will be "Glacier White" instead. So those of you who have LY cars (or have your eye on one) this color will become a collector's color, which is what Mazda wants.

 

BAH!!!!!!

dammit why can't they have another color instead of white!!!

 

Yeah, personally I would voted for that dark blue color...

 

Burnt Orange!
Go Longhorns

 

Spicy Orange!!!!111one!1

 

They should just call it "Maytag White", since it's an appliance colour, not a sports car colour!

:p :D

oooooo white.... i want that color. too bad for the yellow

 

White is a racing color.

 

That is exactly what they did to the FD. CYM is now the 'rare' collector RX7. White replaced it untill the last 2003 model.

WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

 

Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!

 

Long time lurker, first post.

I emailed Mazda two days ago to see what "official word" they may have about the 2005 model. Someone posted here some time ago that Mazda said specs would be out in June. I got a similar email, but different month...

I agree. That was the 'X-men' RX-8 color,right? Really cool.

I don't like yellow. It's a color for taxis...:D

 

woohoo, no more yellow rx8s... ...

(my master plan is all coming together now... buwahaha...)

 

TOO many drab looking cars out there to get rid of the yellow and replace it with white. Yuck! Take a look around in a normal parking lot, if the color of your car doesn't catch your eye, it ain't worth having. Hmm, wonder why I got winning blue. Lost in a sea of silver, black, and white cars....

 

If you're right ---yes yes im sooooo happy !!
I hope its the pearl white that's avalible in Japan.
Unfortunately my rx-8 is no longer (accident )
So when I get my check from the total ---hehe looks like ill be waiting till the Glacier white comes .

thanx for the info Omicron you made my day!!!

 

ewww.
i was hoping for the strato blue mica..
oh well.. i liked the yellow. it's cool to see it's a collector's item now tho.

EDIT: I bet nordic green is next.

 

Well, I can't believe that Nordic green has survived. From the polls on this forum, even if they leave it in production for another three years, it will be the more collectible color since it is selling so slowly. I have seen one but only one.

However, I must reiterate the previous post: Bwahahaha!!!!

I love my lightning yellow 8 even if noone else does. It is the kind of color that I have always wanted on a car, and its uniqueness continues to make me happy. COOOL

 

God I love the Nordic Green.

 

i liek the tit grey

 

lol my roommate's from texas... big longhorns fan.
burnt orange... man that's funny. great color though.

 

its very unique!

 

how about titty pink

 

I don't think that would work. It would look as bad as those Mary Kay kars.

Picture deleted

Sorry for your embarrassment, but a more clinical and less erotic image of that gland does not exist. The color of the gland or nipple would not make a good color for a car.

 

(hmmm... okay, I had to gather my thoughts after seeing that last post heh...)

Back to white - I LOVE white - this is what I was hoping for - this will come out just in time for me to buy one! :D
