I have noticed that it's difficult to accurately represent the true shade but this statement represents all colors of the 8. The gray has a lot of color variance depending on the direction of the sun, whether you use a flash etc.. The silver in general is quite light compared to the gray and most of the time easily distinguishable once you've seen a few pictures of the two.
So the gray is darker, but not as dark as green or black. It is light enough that the appearance package, if installed, is immediately evident. The appearance package on the darker colors doesn't seem as noticeable.

I realized that the dial *** design of air conditioner is difffernt in Japan.
Also seems to have cruse control switches on steering.
In Japan, the cruse control is not an option for MT.

I got mine!
Well y'all, the day had finally come. I got the call yesterday evening & got there close to 10pm. Finally broke out of the place a little past midnight. Couldn't go to bed till it was past 2am. Had to drive it home in the dark'n'wet & I was totally wired all the way.:D
She's sooooooo sweet! I'm breakin her in the conservative way. She had 4 miles on her, now she has 41. This is the first time I even saw the velocity red in person & I'm elated with it! That mica sparkles so nicely, especially under lights. The red/black interior goes so well with it too.
Kudos to Mike Weaver @ Wray Mazda for treating it as though it was his own. He wouldn't let me go until he described every little thing that he could think of. Whew! It was past midnight when he finally let us go & I think he was more wired than me, smiling like a chesire cat the whole time! Great guy.
Well, here she is, with me giving my "rotary salute". Cheers!
edit - let's keep the pix in these posts, huh?

She is indeed a beauty. I have a silver 8, but when I saw the red at the dealer I had some serious second thoughts. The red doesn't really show itself off until you have seen it in the sun. Congrats.

BTW, did everybody see the rotary shape at the end of desmo996's belt.? Something about this car, has me looking for hidden rotary accents everywhere.
