Trying to decide which color looks best on this car...black is very classic but gets dirty fast...silver,to many cars are silver,yellow is really cool (flashy),red is pretty much what i was thinking of going for,blue i find is a little to light makes it look to much like a toy(no offence blue car owners.What do you people suggest or find about these colors.

 

Do a search for the color regrets thread. You can get some info from there I think.
I've always had black cars and for some reason I'd get silver if I had to do it again.
It shows the 8's beautiful lines much better than black.
Go to a dealer that has alot of colors and just stare at them for an hour. You'll decide.
Good luck !

 

silver or black

 

multiple games of paper-rock-scissor with each color represented in a tournatment. overall winner was decided by fate!!! barring that, red.

 

I always have silver cars whether or not I had the choice or not; even before it got popular as we have seen lately. For me silver on my 8 worked out well since it is hard to notice when is dirty. A bit darker silver (between silver and titanium gray) would be nice as well.

 

Silver!!

White will also be nice. I also like Black, but I've had one too many black cars to keep clean and "non-swirled".

Go walk around the lot and see which one holds tour attention the most. It's very much up to personal preference.

 

Velocity Red. Although Midnight blue would be nice if it was available.

 

wow...no mention of nordic green...i feel left out

 

It's hard to beat silver.

I liked blue before, but revisiting the colors, my fondness of the blue RX-8 has grown.

 

I like the Grey, but they're pretty common (for 8's anyway). Yellow was my next choice, and I found that the Red's actually pretty nice. I'm never buying another black car again... to easy to see the dirt. (not that I'm going to not keep my 8 clean... bah you get what I mean).

 

I got the black even though i said i didn't want another black car. It just lookd so perfect with the black and tan interior!

 

Hey cgrx... is that your sister in your signature? She is HOT!!!

 

You said it yourself, YELLOW!

Yellow is a like a limited edition color, as the '04 is the only model year to get that color. Get yours now, its already discontinued in Japan.

 

I want that Mica Blue stuff ... Durn those lucky Germans. :P

 

You gotta love Yellow.

Why?

Because that's what I chose and therefore it's the best! :D

 

Everyone knows that black is the fastest color... Yes, it is tough to keep clean but when it is clean nothing looks better.

black as night, inside and out. for no other reason than it looks good!

 

I'd have to agree.

 

Yellow is no longer a choice unless you buy used or find an 04 on a dealer's lot (Yellow has been discontinued for 05). You forgot to mention Gray, which is the classiest of all the RX-8 colours and looks incredible, and isn't nearly as common as silver!

I don't know - Ti appears to be one of the most widely used colors on the RX-8's, and is also available on other Mazda cars.

 

Gord96RG,
Do a search on the mazdausa site, there are still yellows available brand new. I found mine that way, picked her up just two days ago.

I've been monitoring the dealers' inventories daily for two months. At least in CT, Titanium has been the top seller. Only a few wacko's buy Yellow or Nordic Green.

 

The dealer told me that Ti-Grey is the "new silver". Blue is the fastest color, that's why they call it "Winning Blue". It may be "toyish", but the car is a toy. If you're looking for a more serious car, can I suggest the Volvo?

 

I don't doubt it - I did say "unless you buy used or find an 04 on a dealer's lot "!

However, the person asking the original question is from Canada, and there's a lot less stock sitting on the dealer lots here, so finding a new yellow at this point could be a very tough prospect.

Jason, I agree, the Titanium Gray up here is probably the most popular RX-8 colour, and lots of the Mazda3s are using it too. Out on the road amongst other cars, though, gray is still a lot less common than all the silver cars out there!

Regards,
Gordon

 

Grey is very good. It was my second choice. We have a silver Imprezza though, and I wanted a little bit more contrast. Besides, Blue is fastest.

 

How can anyone tell you? Best to see them in person. Then get Yellow. :D
