Why isnt white a color?
Call me crazy but I like the look of a white car with red interior. We currrently have a Miata and are going to order an 8 as soon as we close on our new house (in 3 weeks :D ).
I have seen some photos of white ones but maybe they are photo shoped?
Just wondering.

This has been discussed before, in Japan there is a white, you aren't the only that think this car looks awesome in white. I think it looks wicked.
Apparently not many white miata's were sold? I don't know. Anyway, do a search it has for sure been talked about a few times.

I have a gut feeling that we'll be seeing white as an option in upcoming production years. The '93 RX-7 didn't have white, but '94-95 did.
I think Mazda wanted colors that showed off the lines of the car well first - white doesn't work as well.

I presume that whilst some people really like white the majority don't and it's not worth Mazda's money to set up the spray shop for a very limited run yet.

It's always been my opinion that white makes most cars look cheap. Now, some cars can pull it off, and the 8 is probably one of those, but generally I don't like white as a car color. I DO think Mazda will make it available eventually.

The white from Japan was cheap, no depth.
However, do expect to see a perl white on future RX-8's, as it was reserved for a special edition of the car by US marketeers.

Same deal happens here in Oz. The 2003 RX-8 does not have white on the option list. Perhaps the 2004 update may get it next year.
Mazda did the same with the FD RX-7. When released onto the world stage in 1992, white wasn't listed in most export countries. Down under the series-6 (92-95) didn't get the white option.
However for the series-7 (96-98) version in Oz, we did finally get white as an option.
You hardly ever see a white MX-5 (Miata) on the roads here . Having said that, my good friend drives a white NA version....lol

Personally, I've never cared for white on a 3rd gen - the color just doesn't suit the car. Makes it look washed out and less dynamic. White 2nd gens look great, however. Dunno why.
A pearl white would probably be pretty sweet. But, every picture I've seen of a white RX-8 looked great - I think the color does do well on the '8.
But, most cars have colors that they really look good in, and colors that don't suit them.
