My guess (I've never seen a SilverStone in person) is that those who liked the SilverStone have mixed feelings (at best) about the Sebring. People like me, who have no standard of comparison besides other cars, often LOVE the Sebring. I think it's absolutely beautiful (especially against the red interior)! You really need to see one in person, preferably in the sun - the metallic flakes are awesome! It really is a very classy color, not just the 'seen-one-seen-them-all' silver that it looks like in photos.

Actually, this is true of all the colros - see it in person, then decide.

(If it's the same silver that I've seen on a friend's new BMW, then this one is brighter and flashier, especially up close!)

i own a titanium silver bmw 540iT and a sebring silver s2k. almost exactly the same shade of silver. sebring silver looks great, imo the silverstone was a little too dark.

the two cars also look terrific parked next to each other in the garage. i also owned a black 540 in the past... stick with silver, easier to keep clean.

IMHO, sebring silver is boring. i would much love to have silverstone or any other colors, but i didn't have a choice. i dislike it so much i am seriously thinking about have it repainted.

Like many of you, I loved Silverstone. I was nervous about Sebring Silver....until I saw the first one my local dealer got. They had it near a Silverstone, and the new shade looked stunning. Seeing the old/new side by side, I was surprised to find that I actually prefer the new Silver. I put a deposit on one on the spot. Honda made a good decision in changing the color. Sebring suits the car so perfectly. Of course, color choice is very subjective. For every voice like mine out there, there's another that says Sebring sucks and Silverstone is the best. There is no right or wrong...the bottom line is how you like it. I love to look at mine and that's all that matters.

The new Sebring Silver looks awesome in the sun. Last years Silverstone looks also very good. I would get either color. The S2000 looks great in any color.

Silverstone Metallic is more of a Charcoal Grey Metallic....Suzuka Silver is....well.....Silver. I am planning on driving with Matt25 tomorro who has a '02 Silver. I'll try to post a PIC of the two side by side.
