reasons for not wanting silver, black or blue,

silver= everyones got it, thats all you c
black= nightmare to take care of, swirls FTL
blue= same as above, plus i just dont want a dark color lol

yes i know yellow is sexy as hell and thats what there looking for but if they cant find me one i gotta get another color.

maybe go 06-07 used with low mileage? I know it's not the answer you want, but if color is important enough.... that's the route I went, and loving it.

I know you don't like silver, but 08 is the only year (besides 09 probably) that will have Chicane.....even though it is probably renamed Silverstone. I buy all bright silver cars. Why? Silver hides everything, looks new after 10 years (with the right car), shows no swirls, barely shows minor imperfections like scratches, and hides most of the hail damage that I have on my TSX. I'll be getting a Chicane with Red/Black next year if I can find one...hopefully new.

If I had to choose from your color options I would choose GPW....but I'd be out there pondering the same thing you are. So best thing to do, if you like both of your alternative colors, is to toss a coin and go with it. Everyone on here will have a biased opinion. YOU are the driver, the owner, the ultimate decider. I saw keep your fingers crossed, and if they can't find yellow then take the first one they can find with the lowest mileage.

I'd sit down and wait. You might end up not liking the quick pick color.

Personally, I'd go with GPW between the two. In my mind (no offense to the other folks) the S comes in Silverstone, Yellow GPW, and Monte Carlo. A Miata (great car in its own right) comes in Red. Black seems more of a sedan thing to me.

I agree. All of my sports cars have been silver, starting with a 1967 Austin-Healey Mk111 3000, for all the above reasons. I should add that I just got a Chicane Silver, after waiting for an S2000 for 8 years!

White with a red/black interior looks so sharp on an S2000. But it's all a matter of personal choice.
