Default For '02, did you know....!?

that in Japan, we have 4 additional colors called "Premium Colors".
Which are :

Platinum White Pearl
Monza Red Pearl
Lime Green Metallic
New Imola Orange Pearl

All 200,000 JPY extra (about $1800USD)
All colors can be combined with Blue or black top, all interior colors.

Might well see some unbelievable combos like, Lime green X red or Imola orange x Red.

IMO, orange with blue top would look cool.
check Honda's site for details :

BTW,
if there are people waiting for the ZZA's S2000 page to be updated, It will be done this Wednesday. Sorry for the delay.

Lime green - well I can say it certainly is different

I would think that a colour like that could have a negative effect on the car's residual value come re-sale / part-ex time (just my 2p worth)

Does anyone else remember the "safety" colors offered by Porsche back in the 70s? Lime Green, Bright Orange, and one other color were on the 911. For a while they were widely regarded as ugly and tacky, but after a couple of decades they became collectible since they were so rare. So, if you want to INCREASE collectible value, Lime Green Metallic just MIGHT be the ticket .

Yeah, that might be true, but, the car would sit in the garage because one might be ashamed to drive a car that color!

I personally feel that by offering these fruity colors, honda is making a mockery of the s2000's image: a serious, but fun to drive, sportscar. (i.e., too many chicks will be buying these thinks because they look so Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!)

See what the iMacs started.
If (we are lucky) like other JDM options we will not be privileged to these in the States.
