Default Silver confusion

I will be ordering a 2002 on Monday. I have seen silver pics on here that look kinda dark ... almost like pewter ... and they rock! I am afraid that this silver was a pre-2002 color. The current metallic silver seems lighter and not as good looking to me. Can anyone help with the confusion?

The pewter looking silver was only available for 2000 - 2001 model year s2ks.

The new silver called Sebring Silver is closer to traditional silver (BMW E46 Titanium Silver, etc).

Last year and 2000- Silverstone - great depth, lots of variation in the color depending on lighting...pewter, even a bit of blue/purple...

2002- Sebring Silver - lighter, some say shallower, washed out a bit more.

Hey, its an S - it looks great. But if you don't like it, I bet there are a few 2001 Silverstones left...

Check out this thread:

It should clear up any questions about the different shades....

Not to take anything away from the Silverstone, but I think the new Sebring is fantastic (especially with the red interior)!

When you see the Sebring in person you will like it better than the Silverstone. Thats what happened to me.

I've got to say that I really like the Sebring Silver! I also like the Silverstone, both are great colors!

Here's a pic of my Sebring about a week after I traded in my '00 S2000!

i never understand why people compare the silver to that of the BMW'S...
is it not the silver of the Honda Senda/Civic?
why would honda make ANOTHER SILVER... AND MAKE IT LIKE BMW?

You are correct Arvin. I also own a Titanium Silver 328Ci so the comparison was due to personal experience.
