Default Hard Tops

What percent of S2K's are sold with the factory hard top options? Anectdotal info is OK but I would like to have some reliable data also. Thanks

This depends upon which market you are talking about. In Canada, only Spa Yellow cars sold in 2001 had to be purchased with hardtop. I don't think there was such a requirement in the U.S. market. The hardtop was always an option and very few were ordered by the dealer with a HT when there was no pre-sale. Many owners bought their HTs after they received their cars. If this is your question, then any answer that does not come from Honda is pure guesswork.

Sorry for the poor choice of words. When I said "always an option", I meant "as opposed" to being an item that was on the car from the factory and that was the only way the car came (the spa of that one year in Canada being the exception).
Your information is correct. I got my '00 in the fall of '01 only because the HT was then just available. I would not have bought the S if the HT was not announced. The HT was on order for 5 months and I got it in the part early part of '02.
