GPW with a hard top stands out from all the rest.

My choices were GPW, BB, or Laguna. When I saw GPW it was no contest.

Black and Tan FTW... no bias.

my first 06 was silverstone .. now i have another 05 in Monte Carlo Blue .. probably one of the rarest AP2 colours here in Australia, and is the colour i originally wanted when i was lusting over the S2000 back in 1999 in highschool.

I think 10,000 a year, not sure how many yellow per year.
How many yellow per year. Seems like one of the less common colors, around here at least.

I 100% agree. I couldn't find a Laguna Blue within 400 miles, and a GPW within 300 miles (first and second choices in 06), so I stuck with yellow (traded in my Spa 01). The few times I've seen a Laguna, I've wished I had traveled the distance and gotten one. I am pretty objective and impartial, so IMO Laguna is #1. GPW is a very very close #2, especially with the tan interior, and Rio Yellow and Red are tied for third. Sebring Silver Metallic is a close fourth, and BB rounds out my top 5.

Your rankings are very close to mine. Though I think the white looks better with the black/red interior. Either way, white S2000s look great. Just saw an AP2 last weekend off in the distance and it made me wish I could trade.

There is a table somewhere on this site with the breakdown of production numbers and color for all the years. I saved the table to my phone so I can check it out whenever. Unfortunately i can't seem to find that table again here. Gotta be around somewhere..... If I find it I'll post it here.
