Alright.... regardless of what color you have (this is going to be tuff).... what color does the S2000 look sharpest and sportiest in?

Black is my favorite color for a car in general... but don't you think it hides the curves on the S2K?

What was the color of the first prototype for the S2000...... anyone?

I would HAVE to agree with Charlie! No curves hidden on THIS car. If/when I buy another one it will almost definitely be black.

That is my problem... I have Spa Yellow now and I am going to purchase another... with the rumor that 2003 or 2004 being the last year of production, whatever choice I make is going to most-likely be the last.

I have been considering blue... your thoughts PLEASE.

Less talk and more buying, so you can drive it!!
By the way World Rally Blue is the best color I've seen so far!

Beware of the rumors. The rumors started in '99 that 2000 would be the first and last year of the car, and they have continued every year since. Kind of like the rumor that Honda would stop making the NSX.....

BTW-Red is the color of "real" sports cars.

PLEASE REMEMBER - this should be a fun thread, so don't flame me.

I think Black is the worst color and here is why.

I have always felt that the details of something are what change it from good to extraordinary. The details (grille opening, headlights, taillights, body creases, window trim, etc.) on cars are black. A black car makes the details disappear because they just blend into all the rest of the black color.

I think the best color is one that has contrast to the details. I have a Spa so of course I'm partial to that, but the Silverstone S2000 with a Red/Black interior remains in my mind as one of the most beautiful color combos for the S2000.

No flames on our forum we have a tough moderator but anyway to be honest I enjoy a love hate relationship with my black S2000.

I purchased the car in Nov. of 99' so choices were limited and paying basically MSRP at that time was rare so things such as color choices were not feasable.

I would never go out of my way to buy a black car. I am obsessed with keeping my vehicles very clean so with that in mind owning a black car can drive someone like myself crazy.

That being said if I had a choice it would be white/red after all white is Honda's racing color.

IMO all the colors make the car look great except for suzuka blue.
