Here we go, I have two pictures of the green:

 

The other one:

 

I saw one in the storage area of Galpin Mazda a couple of days ago. I'll just weigh in and say that although the paint is beautiful, I think it's not right for the 8...a little too dark like the poster above said.

But, the reason you haven't seen many around is that only one in twenty RX8s are currently painted this color.

So, get 'em while they're hot!!

 

Yeah, but black is even darker, isn't it? Or it's ok because it's a classic sports car color? Hard to decide...

 

(in a small voice) right, and of those, how many green ones are owned by women? :sheepish grin:

anyway, erik, thanks for the pics... any interior ones??? :D i wanna see the chapperal ...

i really like the green, cuz it's looks black but isn't. unfortunately, it still means it'll show dirt like black does. Personally, i find the darker colors even better because I for one am not in "total" love (yet?) with all the lines of the '8.

 

I only have one pic of the chapparal leather. It's not in a green car, though.

 

Here is another shot of a Green one.

 

And one more with the yellow as well

IMO, this picture does this color no justice!! It is a super color!!

 

I just took some (in the rain) of the green next to the black, and then some of the green in slightly better light, and the interior. It really looks great on the car, and I am very glad that's what I decided on. I'll post the pictures later this evening.

 

I saw a Nordic Green RX-8 today at a dealership. I thought it was black until I got closer. It was nice, although not really my taste. They also had a Titanium parked next to a Silver. Personally, of those two I'd take the Titanium; it's a richer shade that shows off the shape of the car better, IMO. Of all the colors I like blue the best, although I'll probably buy a red one, to get the two-tone interior.

 

If you want to see the pictures I took tonight (I'll get more tomorrow when I pick up the car) go here . I tooka few of the green next to the black in the rain, and some of the green by itself inside.

 

Elara,

Congrats on your new ride. I viewed your pics with the appearance package and spoiler. Looks good with the green also. I'm sure you're glad that those options made it when your order got amended. I hope you are not disappointed with those options. I definately was not disappointed with mine.

 

VERY NICE! Nordic Green is a superior colour and suits the car amazingly well. Looks like you'd have been better off taking delivery of that boat in the car park though...

 

Tell me about it. The stupid thing was that it didn't rain at ALL yesterday until 15 minutes before I went to see it. And then it stopped 15 minutes after we left.


I am SO glad we did- after looking at mine and then the others, none of which had any appearance stuff except for rotary packages, mine looks so much more finished(thought they all look beautiful anyway). I cannot WAIT to pick it up this afternoon!

 

Elara,
Just five minutes after having seen your green 8 pics my dealer called that a green 8 had just landed. I rushed to the dealership and finally saw the 1st Nordic Green RX8 ever. It is simply the most amazing color of all! I finalized my order: it is going to be green with chapparal/black interior. Thanks for the pics again!
Erik

 

Gratz Erik! I can't wait to see your pictures when it gets here. Told you it was a great color- pictures really don't do it justice, no matter how many you take.

 

the green FD's are actually called montego blue. looks green but it's not. so with different names i doubt they are the same colour.

 

As we were driving home this evening, I saw my first 8 (other than mine) on the road. Guess what color it was? Yup. Nordic Green. I have to wonder if the guy driving was as suprised to see us as we were to see him. Unfortunately, he was going to opposite direction so we couldn't chase him down easily. Somehow, I don't think this is going to be the rarest color for much longer.


By the way, it's not the same color as Montego Blue. I thought they were at first too. MB has a lot more blue in it. They are about the same darkness, though, if that makes any sense.

 

The green looks classy. Not at all just a chick color. It looks real nice. I want to see it before I make up my mind. Although after seeing the red last weekend... Wow! It pops!

 

Elara... I took a look at your pictures. It is really pretty. It does look classy. My current car is real close in color, and I love it. I think it actually hides dirt reasonably well.

 

Again Elara, congrats on what I think is the best color for the 8!

After reading this thread, I've pretty much made up my mind. I have a Mariner Blue '91 Miata and can't imagine having 2 blues. If I wanted to be noticed by the highway patrol, I'd get yellow. The yellow is definitely the sporties IMHO for the 8, especially with an all black interior.

 

Hey All,

I had finally made up my mind as to what color to pick: It's going to be Nordic Green with Black/Chapparal interior.

My delaer was able to modify one of their orders to match my specifications and that car is scheduled to be built by Sept. 1.
Do you guys have an idea what kind of a deleivery date am I looking at? I know the initial orders took 6-8 weeks from build date to delivery. Just wondering wherher or not it has since decreased.

Erik

2004 RX8 Nordic Green, Black/Chapparal, GT, Nav, spoiler, rotary accents, rotary wheel centers, exhaust finishers.

 

Well, mine was built August 4th, and the dealership thinks they'll have it late August / early September.

Mazdausa Orders can only tell me the production date, though, so who knows.

 

So, Elara, did you get a clear bra for your NG? If you did, what do you think about it ? If not, are you planning to get one ? I'm hoping that someone has installed this on an NG and can tell me what it looks like before I commit to doing it to my not yet here (damn it) RX-8.

 

No, not yet- Still not sure if I am or not. The little clear protector thing on the back fenders looks a little odd to me, and if it shows up like that, I don't know if I want the entire bra on it.

We've got a lot of other stuff we want to get first, anyway- lojack, tint, fender strakes, to start.
