Thumbs down Rio Yellow or GPW?

Considering a 01 GPW or a 04-05 Rio
Both are great, both are rare, Rio is the yellow I would consider (no spa).

Would like to know what you all think.
I love White in all honesty but considering Rio now since I like the lively color and feels more contrast but... still in the white mood and miss my white DC2 (integras).

Rio be a change but perhaps good,


suggest, pics, either way can't go wrong but would like to know and get some boost.
White hard to find, yellow a tad easier or not... both hard...
considered silver with only red/blk or red interior but hard to find too and see a few rios for nice deal.

they're both good colors, i hardly see those colors around. well i own gpw myself, but other than that...

yellow is a really loud color, i prefer things a bit more bland, so i like white. and you can't go wrong with honda and white.

and at first i hated my tan interior, but now it's really growing on me.

lol, i had a GPW 01 and now have an 04-05 Rio...

they are both nice. I personally like yellow more. But white is more commonly viewed by others as a sick color.

yellow is def more exotic looking.

My rio is for sale though...i want a diff car.

Although I really wanted an AP2 so if I were in your situation it would be a really tough call. I say wait for an 04-07 GPW for sale!

This suggestion shouldn't be about colors, it should be about do I want an ap1 or ap2.

In all honesty, white is the nicest color. I'm not sure I would want an 01 though, but it all depends on the miles. If it was an 02/ 03 white or an ap2 in white I would be all over it.

Pics are kinda pointless. The pearl fleck in the Rio paint doesn't show up. Can you really not decide for yourself?

RIO FTW BY FAR. dont wanna offend any of you GPW guys but in my "opinon" white is very plain and does not stand out at all and is kinda blahh... If i ever bought a white car theres only one white that dominates all a 98 championship white ITR. done.

I would definitely get tired of Rio/Spa in about 1 week. Too obnoxious of a color for me. White is clean and classic; a color that will never get old.
