I can't believe they're removing Winning Blue for this crap.

Winning blue rules all. It doesnt bother me that this new blue is replacing it, I actually prefer it that way. I will hopefully see less and less of my own color on the streets.

I agree, that's why i love the yellow
clean and wax, it looks like a bright yellow, dirty it looks like a darker yellow, but it still appears to be very clean looking still

Winning blue looked a little to bright for me. Sonic blue metallic that Ford used on the 99-04 Mustang (really only the 04s got it) would be an awesome blue. It looks purple in shadowed areas, but blue in lit areas, at night it just looks dark blue.

only problem with montego is that everyone thought it was green and if it isn't clean, it practically is. Green doesn't strike me as a good Rx-8 color..... nor an Rx-7 color (even though it was one)

Stormy Blue
I saw a Stormy Blue Mica '07 in person at the John Hine dealer in San Diego. I had been waiting for a dark blue to finally make it to the states, but man would I have been disappointed if I got this color. Even in direct sunlight, the stormy blue looked like a purple/black with a hint of blue. I am so happy that I got the phantom blue, it's a much sexier looking color.

I actually get quite ticked when I see another winning blue... (I've only seen 2 or 3 other than mine...)

I love tan leather. I would have gotten a Phantom blue with Tan if I felt like waiting on an 07. But a CR Shinka is nice and they had incentives so....
Stormy blue looks nice as well. Like the Nordic Green or Black Cherry it will probably only really look great in direct sunlight and in person.

I see multiple 8's in the burgh everyday. Ever since i got rid of mine it seems like they are popping up eveywhere. I saw an incredible Ti Gray 8 in oakland on sat night, body kit exhaust...screamin down 5th and then cut up by Clapp Hall. I've only seen 2 other speed6's around though...but this is getting off topic. Anyone have any real pics of the stormy blue yet?? I doubt they will be in the burgh soon

clean and wax, it looks like a bright yellow, dirty it looks like a darker yellow, but it still appears to be very clean looking still My next choice would have been the gray. I like the red a lot but it's too stereotypical with "red sports car" that I wouldn't get one, that and the fact that my mom loves red cars. When I went to look in person (late spring 05) to see if I really liked the car a few months before I finalized my order, the dealership had one of every color sitting there next to each other. The blue one just caught my eye and jumped out at me, confirming that was definitely the one I wanted. I'm definitely disappointed that they discontinued winning blue.
