Sorry to labour the point but the NA bright yellow is MALIBU GOLD.
Sunburst Yellow is the colour of the NC which is totally different. Please refer to Juffa and Malibu for pictures of their Malibu Gold NA's.


Whoops, it's Sunset Yellow for the NC2 actually and I should know :wink:
Back me up on this one "Taminga 16" :mrgreen:
In Japan it's Sunflower Yellow :oops:

You need another button labelled "Not Red". :D

Maybe another one too for "Not Dark Silver or Grey" or whatever the colour is called that makes sports cars almost invisible on grey roads. :evil:

We are up to 68 votes. I think we need about 30 votes per colour option to be scientific, so we need about 180 votes. We are now over 1/3rd there.

I think we need Guran for a download on stats. If you had 30 votes per colour the number of votes would probably never be fulfilled. I am prepared to go out on a limb and suggest that red gets 3 gongs.

Yeah, I think your quite wrong there.
The Na Malibu Gold is actually Sunburst yellow, same yellow that's on the older Mazda 2. The reason it was called Malibu gold was to fool the Mazda boss who hated yellow. Hence why so few delivered.

Also as nice as there cars are I do not need to refer to Juffa or Malibus pics haha :) as I have quite a few pics of my own Malibu.

I wish there were more black NA's.. They look damn sexy!!

Cheers Phil,
It is Sunset Yellow on the NC2 (Colour discontinued), in the US it is Competition Yellow, and from memory Yellow on the NC2 didn't make it to Europe.

I would have thought Yellow would have been a shoe-in... that colour always makes me laugh.

Seeing this has left me tempted, I may have to paint my Guards red and the steering wheel blue. :)

In case anyone is holding back or went on a long holiday. There is still time to contribute to the poll.

In case anyone is interested our Kiwi cousins did a similar poll
