I like the idea of discontinuing colors such as the Silverstone. There will soon be more S2Ks on the road but at least mine will still be unique at least in color. It will help maintain its value.

1) Make the glass window very small so that the top continues to fold where it currently does, or

2) Redesign how the top folds which means redesigning the whole top.

I think the plastic window is here to stay until the next generation of the S2000 (or S2200).
Perfect logic. Add to that: The car is a minimalist roadster. Top is secondary to performance and style. Productions numbers are so low that a redesigned top could not be amortized to recoup R&D costs. Hope I'm wrong and ready to eat crow if I am, but just can not see it.

IF this car does get a glass window, I believe Honda will most likely just keep the top the same and add a rather small glass window. I've seen other convertibles with small, similar glass windows. Like you said, the top is secondary!!

Sorry I don't have a scanner and my digital Camera is Junk. I am trying to get ahold of one of my friends that has one though.

No flame intended, but I'll belive the Blue on Blue when I see it in person, the local dealer is a good friend of mine and he has received no such color chart, they typically come in August. And for the record, the VGS comes with BLACK interior, regardless of what the pic shows .

I listed both those links to pics to show the difference between the bright blue and the dark blue Type-V S2000 colors. But someone thought the Type-V pic I posted was of a black car...he didn't notice that the color is indeed a dark blue. Adding to the confusion, I thought the Type-V came with a blue leather interior, but the zigzagasia pictures show that I was wrong.
