We have ordered a titanium rx8 but have the option of getting a black one in a couple of weeks.

Since we are unsure as both colours are nice I would like to hear any comments from anyone on what colour they think is the nicest or if you have one of these colours what you think of it.

:confused:

My brother has silver and is very easy to keep clean, black shows every mark, but it looks fantastic in black. Black would be my choice.

I am biased and must say Titanium. Sally describes it at stylishly classy.

Black does look good though although perhaps a bit sinister.

What ever you get you will love it.

I await delivery of my Titanium 230 RX8 in March. I spent a long time trying to decide whether or not to go for black......but having a black car for the last 4 yrs easily persuaded me.

Black looks great..............but is a bugger to to keep looking nice (even minutes after a good waxing !!)

Dear Glenn,
I didn\'t think we were allowed to use the \' F \' word on the Forum!
My own car is in Brilliant Black, and I wouldn\'t have it any other way. The first RX-8 I saw last Autumn was at my local Mazda dealership, and I caught a first glimpse of the Red nose of the beast, and it left a distinct and strong impression. I have yet to see a black or silver "8"-I have spotted two reds in my locality.
The RX-8 carries on the mystique of the Mazda rotary heritage,
but unlike the Rex, it has a little unfinished business in areas of its shape: the rear is for me such an area. Whereas the Rex is almost the definition of beauty in itself ( are we allowed to use the word-sublime- on the Forum?), and the Rx-8 is subtle and understated in a modern world of thug SUV, Bull-Bar Fwd design;
there are detractors who may be less subtle and substitute the word anonymous for the word understated-in areas of the RX-8 shape. I feel that Red somehow gives a little more authority to a
design that as you can probably discern, I find less than fully convincing.
Peace and Love,

fdman

:rollin :rollin :rollin

The good ol\' "F" word, I still have a soft spot for them - particularly cars like the Enzo :)

Give it time, I think the RX-8 is a few years ahead also. I wasn\'t too sure initially, but more you see on the road the more you will like them.

I can\'t wait to see what the new RX-7 is going to look like, the FD was 10 years ahead in its design.

Peace and love indeed! :)

Thanks guys.

We have decided to stick to our original decision which was titanium, as much as I do like the black.
