I think GPW is one of the best colors for an S2000. It's a different white compared to a lot of cars out there. I owned my last '06 Laguna for about 6 years, and through that whole ownership, I always wished it was GPW. A few months after selling it, I started searching for an 08+ GPW. I was lucky to find one that was within 500 miles, but I definitely paid a premium for it(about $1300 over market value). After owning a GPW now, I couldn't imagine going to any other color, especially if you get one with red interior. The GPW with red interior is such a classic look.

 

That is surprising to me, because I think Laguna Blue is hands-down the best color the S2000 came with from the factory. I know it's a purely subjective matter but after having seen a Laguna car in person it was solidified as my favorite color.

I thought of something else that may relate to why white is so desirable on these cars but I don't know how well I can describe it: it seems like the "Honda" theme is white car, black interior, red badges. I see it on many cars and people tend to get the red badges for white cars more than for any other color. Hope that makes sense...

 

I have a 02 BB with all black interior, she's sexy

 

Don't get me wrong, I loved Laguna. It's a very rewarding color. When it's clean and polished/waxed, it's such a vibrant color. But like you said, white is definitely the Honda color. Since I was a teenager, I loved white ITRs and NSXs. The only downside to white, is that when it's cleaned and spotless, it doesn't show like a car that has more depth(anything that's darker). If it's in the sun, white seems to get very washed out and becomes extremely bright.

 

White/red in MY02 is classic. I was scared about the all red interior, until seeing it in person.... Now, I wouldn't have it any other way

 

I've got an 04 white on tan.

It was between that and suzuka blue. I still love the blue, but the white on tan just looks so classy and elegant.

It took me 6 Months to find mine, I found 2 others in that time period one had a white tax that was tooo high and the other guy tried shafting me for top repair.

it was well worth the wait

 

I wanted an S for quite some time. I looked at a few cars before I bought mine. Black was out, I'd had a black motorcycle and a black hatch and the damn things were always smoking hot. I only wanted this car in white. I wanted an 03 with pretty low miles. Only the 03' came white/tan... So for AP1's its the rarest color/interior combo.
Simply put GPW with a Mugen/Vis hard top is the sexiest thing around. It looks best in white, and while I wouldn't say that about every car, it definitely holds true for the S2K.

 

There are 28 white S2000's.for sale nationwide on Autotrader.com....I want one, but if I can't get a buyer for my Silverstone for what I want, I'm not gonna sell it. My ideal S2000 is a 2005 with the tan interior with 40k miles or less. That is gonna cost at least $18k from the dealer.

 

From the color archive chart on this site. There were only 355 2009s (actually they are just left over 2008s I believe). 31 2009s were CRs, so yours is actually 41 out of 324 non CR S2000s. If you count the CRs there are actually 49 GPW ones.

 

09s are not the left over 2008's... 2009 was a actual year the s2k was produced. both cr and non cr.
