I've been looking at used RX8's and the guy says its blue silver? He's in another city from me so I can't just go and see it.

I am pretty sure it is regular Titanium in an odd light or color setting.

I guess you could call Titanium blue silver.

I think it's supposed to be Winning Blue. Some digital cameras seem to add a little yellow (hence the greenish color) to photos if you don't tweak the settings.

Good call.

That is some serious color distortion.

I don't think it's winning blue. It looks more like the Titanium Gray.

Doh! Did anyone notice the Autotrader ad listed the 8 as a 2-door?

I believe he was referring to this date... Warranty Start Date
11/07/2003, which would have been when the original purchaser bought the car.

probably titanium

with a wierd colored sky. It is either that or sunlight silver. It might be some special paint job, but I really think it's titanium.

I wonder how a 04 (two door) Rx8 purchased in Nov 03 ended up at "Buz Post Motors" anyway?

I'm gonna ignore that last post since we already figured it out.

He says in the listing it is blue/black. I would think it was Winning blue with the Black leather interior.

That's an odd color. Digital cameras (especially the cheap ones) sometimes distort colors, which is one of the reasons I am sticking with my 35mm SLR.
