I think I like white more than any of the other colors... besides that color shift red and black. I'm getting tired of black cars and it looks like you can only get that red with some crazy shinka package.

I really like the "rare" yellow!!!! I can't say that I care for the white too much. About a year ago when I made my first actual look at the car the dealership had one of every color sitting there (except yellow since they were all 05s) and two white ones. Well, seeing them all sitting there in the sun together convinced me that the blue just really stood out and I definitely wanted that color. The white was my least favorite. It looked kinda yellowed like dirty snow, no offense. It doesn't look like a bad color but it definitely doesn't grab me. It's missing the head turning, grab your attention look of a brighter color, especially for a sports car.

The blue really stands out, the red really stands out, the yellow really stands out. I like the silver/gray also but they don't stand out so much. I will never own a black car since it is so hard to keep the paint looking nice so I never thought too much about what it looked like. The green was okay but it's not a color high up on my list of likes.

Subaru NEEDS my white WRX, they sent me something yesterday. Should I tell them I don't have it anymore? I don't want to hurt their feelings, they seemed really excited about it

Lol sorry... You have to understand that I'm coming from NASIOC and trying to adjust to the way thing are here. I remember finding a picture on here of some kid wearing a tie.. pink popped shirt.. green checkered pants.. and he just put neons and interior lighting all over his rx8. .... No one on here gave him a hard time at all! I couldn't believe it, nasioc would have torn him appart (while referencing srt4's and of course traveling through hyperspace). So basically I'm a little bit hardened by the streets of nasioc and have to get used to the fluffy bunny land of rx8club.

Hmmm. I don't think I've ever seen any hint of yellow in my Whitewater Pearl. I even had to ask every one around me here at work if my car looked yellow (out of the window) or ever noticed that it looks yellowish in any type of light.

I did notice some pics on this sight of a white 8 against snow which looked yellowish. It doesn't ever snow here so I don't know.

When the white 8 is clean (even when it's not clean) it is quite striking looking and most comments on my car include some kind of mention about "what kind of white paint is that?"

In general pictures it might look generic white but is far from it in person. There is definately a lot of deep pearl in the paint that is not noticed in lackluster pics.

I didn't even consider getting white but we were drawn to it over the other colors at the dealer and the dealer even told me that the white 8 draws the most attention at the lot (maybe he just wanted to sell it but this isn't the white 8 I bought or the place I bought my white 8, my white 8 came directly off the showroom floor).

The Whitewater Pearl is quite a bit different form say a Chevy truck white and emits a kind of "glow" that is hard to explain in words. Ever seen a white 8 at night, under city lights on wet streets? Wow!

But... what ever floats your boat and no offense taken.
