Default Got another S2000

I've just replaced my 99 S2000 with an new european import, which I picked up 2 days ago in black with brown leather.

Most interesting alternative proposition other than the usual suspects was a Corvette C6, which blew me away in terms of pure grunt (over 400 HP), but then I got back in my old S2K and was instantly reminded why a smaller more dynamic car is a lot more fun and useable.

I've gone for a new euro import because I saved 5K on the list price. I was cautious about euro cars but on investigation the only real downside is the 2 year honda warrenty rather than the 3 year, Personally ill pay the

What's the difference between a Euro import and the one you had? Is that a brown interior, not tan? I've not seen that combo before. Is it custom? Post a pic?

Just one comment to make which is diffcult to say without an analogy so I'll use one : If on a scale of 1 to 10 , saloon car to raw track car, my old S2K was a 7.... my new car is a 6.5. Its been refined somewhat which has positive and negatives which will definately be a matter of taste.
Well, the good news is that while it may feel more comfy, its not any slower than your old S!

ps for those who wondered - brown is the new tan color.
