It was his favorite color? I did not know that. Always learning something new on s2ki

Yep, true statement.

Can we get a more reliable source than Wikipedia? If so, then I say Shigeru Uehara should count as 700 votes

Agreed! Check and Mate!



Found this on Shigeru Uehara and thought it might be of interest.

I had googled after I saw what Rylis posted and found the exact statement on several other websites. It might be credible.

Edit: I'm reading the initial responses FOUR years ago of the teaser shots and information regarding the "new" CR model and they're hilarious!

I own APB so I voted APB. It was not my first color choice but the car was close by and in immaculate condition. At night under street lighting the color is quite nice. Is there a reason for APB being available to only CR's (at least in the US)?
I'd like to know this also.

I'd also like to know what was your first color choice?
Black was my initial choice for color. But I am not into washing cars. My back does not like it. Also, black is a bit harder to see at night which is perfect until you get hit.

Interesting! I guess an Apex Blue S2000 CR would be considered the designer's apex for all S2000s.
