Not that anybody asked, but I find myself wondering why Honda switched from Spa to Rio. The Spa yellow is so much brighter- a lot more like Fly yellow used by Ferrari (and a lot less like taxi yellow used by taxis).
I have yet to see a Rio in person, but I can clearly understand how the Rio is darker and a bit more red. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND is Canda's yellow. It is not named Spa, it is not named Rio, and when I saw it at the Toronto AutoShow I would have bet a very large sum of money on the fact that I was looking at Spa.
Think about it. Honda makes Monte Carlo blue NSXs and S2000 and we can't get them here. Now they make two different yellows for North America. Where is there ANY logic in that...

Asif, I just don't know, I'm not saying you are wrong, but I need to see them together. To me the '04 solar yellow S at Toronto looked just like My Spa, and all the other S owners I was there with agreed.
Ya know, the two are very different. I've had a great look at the one on the dealer lot here, and it is different to the Spa. I'm 100% sure about that, since even the paint codes are different.
