In the paris car show last autumn, on the honda stand was a lighter shade of silver s2000. I think they had it like that so that it matches the other hondas on the show, which were all the same color. It looked really flat and cheap IMO.

silverstone metallic is not limited to the S. The 2001 NSX is also available.
pure conjecture on my part, but interesting that S2K and NSX are built at the same factory, offered in the same colors for the most part (silverstone, spa yellow, same white, same black, and same red). If I had to guess which blue it will come in, i would look to the blue offered here in the US on the NSX.
cool color (IMO) but i think blue leather is a bit too much.
finally, as an owner of a silverstone car, i am actually pretty happy that they are changing the silver. nearly every stook that i see in s. cal is silverstone (usually with black interior) or yellow. changing the colors just mixes it up a bit.

Selfish people would deny others the chance to share this experience so that they might own a rarity.
At the end of the day we've got a lot of gullible, vain, selfish people who are upset and talking badly about treacherous dealers. Sounds like everyone got their just desserts to me.

I, for one, am happy that they are spreading the joy in limited numbers. For those of you who are so insecure that you would deny others this pleasure, maybe you dont deserve the happiness this car brings. I have let everyone I know drive the S2000 if they wanted to because of how special this car is. No one has abused it and all have enjoyed it.
And for those of you who were guilible enough to believe the press when it announced the "two year run"...you obviously did not belive it could be as successful at the NSX eh? two years? HA!

What bad reviews? The only reviews I have seen that could be construed as 'bad' are the ones that are bag on the lack of torque, which is very true.
skitz: you got anything to back all this up, or do you want to head back to the Fiction section with your Jergens?

Oh, and they have to do something about the relatively bad reviews it keeps getting...

...occasionally jolting ride, intrusive noise levels and, on one of our two test cars, a surprising number of squeaks and rattles...
...Most buyers will be happier in the long run with a BMW Z3 2.3 or Mazda Miata, which offer similar sports-car fun with more finesse for the same or less money...
...Six-footers barely fit the cozy cockpit, which has a teensy main controls for a poor-sounding audio system and almost no storage space.
