No offense to Suzuka owners, but I don't like this color, at ALL.

Its a wimpy looking blue, almost a powder blue. I think they really missed the boat here by not bringing the Monte Carlo(?)/Dark Blue in from Japan and Europe.

I don't really think this is a sportscar color. Sportscars are supposed to look flambouyant, not girlie. For example the Audi S4's 'Crayola' Blue, Ferrari F550 Blue, and the E46 M3's Smurf Blue are how you do blue on a sportscar. Suzuka's color is more like I'd expect to find on a rental car. Its funny how they took such a risk on the interior color, and then went with a completely odd ball, conservative (IMHO) color on the outside.

This color choice reminds me of when the NSX came out in Brooklands Green, and everyone was kind of scratching their heads. I'm fairly sure the color disappeared after 1 year. I think this may be the fate of Suzuka Blue.

I admit when I first saw the blue on the internet I wasn't impressed. When I saw in person I was actually surprised. The blue looked cool in the sunlight. It was like I could see some red tones within the blue. I even went in the evening to see what it looked like at night!! Ok I'm crazy! I parked my white/red next to it and made comparisons. The glass window was definitely a positive. Yet overall I couldn't give up my white/red for a blue. Being blue is my favorite color I just couldn't do it. Now if it were the other blue that is offered in Japan, then I wouldn't think twice.

I think the Suzuka Blue looks alright. . .but I agree, it's more of a feminine color. The BLUE interior is way out of control. . .just like that RED!




I'm so glad I got the Sebring Silver. . .

I actually think the blue looks very unique and different.
IMO, red is more of a fem color.. like lady's dress or lipsticks..
but hell, what do i know..

(Red s2k owners please dont be offended, just a humble
opinion of mine...)
