Default Popular 04 colors

Are any of the new 04 colors / interior combos particularly hard to find, esp in so/cal?

My favs are Rio and Sebring so far, but when the soon-to-be purchase date arrives it's gonna be tough not to drive off in the first car I find (for the right price of course). Thanks.

The only color I've been seeing on the road and in the showrooms are Sebring Silver and Silverstone Metallic. I'm actually looking for a Rio Yellow though. *Sigh* I would get the Suzuka Blue but blues hasn't been the best color for me. I miss my EBP Si =/

I've seen several silvers. All of them that I've been able to walk up to had the all black interiors. I've love to see the black/red interior in person. I've seen three or four reds in the Houston area so far. Clear Lake Honda, south of Houston, had a red on the lot earlier this week. I think it lasted about three days. Don't know if it was spoken for when they got it or not. They've got a Suzuka blue on the lot right now. It's drop dead gorgeous.

I tell you, this is one area I've had a lot of trouble with. I like both the silvers but would really want the black/red interior if I go that route. After drooling over that Suzuka blue, it's back on the top of my wish list but then again, I really like the Grand Prix White too! Decisions, decisions, aint life terrible? I guess it will depend on which one they've got on the lot at the time. If that's not an option, I'll flip a coin or something as to which color I order. Geez, time has really slowed down lately!

Drive Safe,

There is a yellow at a dealer up here. Probably too much hassle to ship it though.

I've seen Silver, Black & Yellow, and bought Silver wRed/Black interior - mostly because of the interior color. I'd like the White w Black/Tan interior too - if one had been available I might have bought it instead.

I think the stock rims affect the how we perceive the color. I never thought I'd like Suzuka but it matches the '04 OEM wheels in a way that didn't feel right to me with 00-03. Whereas I like the silverstone color better with the older rims. I think black looks equally good with the new rims. Don't know about yellow.

Haven't seen a Suzuka MY04 in person, but it's really growing on me.

Had something interesting happen at my dealer a few weeks ago. I was picking my S up for something, and there was a customer's Suzuka sitting on the lot, and I swear the interior was black.

odd.

I've seen several MY04's in red so far. VERY nice! If they'd put the black/red interior in it, it would be perfect. My only issue with red is that it virtually "screems", "hey Mr. Police man, here I am!!! "

Having said that, if they'd put that black/red interior in it, I'd have a "very" difficult time turning it down!
