I still like red and I still have not seen another red RX8 on the road.

The mica flakes do make the red car, look almost burgandy at sunset.

I applaud all those of you gutsy enough to get the red. At first I didn't care for it, too bright. When I saw it in person I changed my tune... but still. I know my lead right foot would get me in way too much trouble. LOL. Been driving a Town car for the last few years and have had 0 points (even though I like triple digit driving). The silver Ho-nda prior to that got me 6 points in 3 years.

I love ALL the colors and had a real hard time picking one... wish I could have one in each color.... oh well... guess that's what my $5 a week powerball lotto habit is for.

The green in the brochure was pretty awful. In person it is a class act. I ditched my pre-ordered titanium and went with the green as soon as I saw it. It's dark (almost black) green in some lights, blue in others. On close inspection, the paint seems to have gold, turquoise and even purple flecks. With black interior, it rocks.

Have fun keeping it looking clean.... (compared to the titanium) :D

I still think a red car is easier to keep clean then a black or green.

Trust me, I have a black TL and a green SUV.

But from what owners have said about the Nordic Green, I may need to see one in person.

The red is truely awesome, everyone comments on the colour.

It looks soooo silky at night in the sunset, and looks bright from far but you can see the gold flakes from close up.

I really got bored of the red photos and didn't want red, ANYTHING but red, I said. Then I bought RED!

It is easy to keep clean too

I like the titanium as well, it is a nice colour but it wasn't dark enough for me, my last car was silver and I didn't want silver again.

The blue is nice, very bright in the day.
