Default Honda UK Web site, A must see!

I just checked out the UK Honda site and I think its the best one. www.honda.co.uk

there is a really cool intro that turns into an interactive turn table of cars. I went to the site after I saw the euro Civic on Fifth Gear which is totally different then the North American Civic. Well a visit to the site of course requires checking out the S2000. Tell me if I'm wrong, the Imola Orange is our Rio or Solar Yellow? They have a lot of colors to choose from and its interesting that they have to pay as much as 800 pounds for some of them.

if you didn't already know... they are still using the 2.0l engine in the UK. According to the UK site 0 to 62 mph is 6.2 sec that is the slowest I have ever seen posted?

Th 0-62 is the manufacturer figure. The 0-60 in all the magazines over is between 5.6 and 6 usually.

Imola Orange is a very orange colour (used on the NSX). Rio yellow is a seperate colour which we have too.

IIRC the S2000 on the UK site is still the 05 model and not 06 with all the old colour options.

Most Mags I have seen say 0 to 60 in 5.4 sec. like Road and Track.

If you look at the web site the Imola Orange is yellow, maybe its a mistake?

Besides the Fridge the other must have option would be the Fire Extinguisher.

An S2000 in the UK costs almost 2x as much as it does in the US. 0-62 MPH = 0-100 KMPH for comparision with others who quote in kmph (Europe)

Canada is almost 1.5x at $50,300.00 CDN + 15% tax in Ontario.
The UK site says MPH and 0 to 60.

Also why are there no cars from the Acura line in the UK? I know there under the same Honda badge but there Honda site only has the typical Honda models.
