I have owned both, my first S was NFR, my current is Berlina...

honestly I wish I had the NFR now, I live in an apartment on the river, and my car has to park outdoors. My Berlina is Dirty every other day!!!!

NFR hid the dirt better, also door dings.

if you have a garage, id say Berlina...because it is so sexy when it is clean....if not Id go NFR.......

I'd guess the silvers "hide" the dirt best.

In short, they are all great. I love all the colors.

When I was set on buying new, I was working on finding a GPW.

However, once I made up my mind to buy used, the car's history, location, etc was the leading factor. NFR is great, and I love my new-to-me 05 (found with 8K miles, one owner). At the same time (within hours) the dealer sales rep said she had found an 09 GPW, but they wouldn't come off 32.7K +TTL. If you get a good deal on a new one, take it, whatever the color.

Everyone knows red is faster anyway. snickers

Completely agree. The S2000 is the only car that I've ever considered buying in any color available...it's just that hot.

Hmmm if you bought a 2006 GPW they come with all black interior...

Between NFR and BB I would have to go with BB. Nothing like a clean black car. And when it's dirty, it just gives you an incentive to wash it/take care of it more. And there's nothing more satisfying than seeing the transformation from dirty to clean with BB. My last car was red and after 6 years of somewhat neglect in paint care wise, my car looked so ghetto it was just embarrassing. Only my rear bumper faded for some reason and looked like I spray painted it. I would not get red except on a ferrari or some type of exotic.

I only wanted GPW, no if's and's or butt's. For my last car I chose my second color of choice and somewhat regretted it. Didn't make this mistake this time, and I can't stop thanking myself every single day.

The Suzuka-on-blue combo is a bit much, but I'd still choose that over most other comparable non-S2 options

GPW, my mirrors, lip, and side strikers faded, but i bought the car used. GPW has more resale value. I wish I spent more in the first place.
