Default Request: Sebring is closest to what other manufacturer's silver?

Hey all,

I'm trying to decide whether to get Sebring or black. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a Sebring yet so really don't know how it looks in person. I'm concerned it is too light for my tastes. As well, in Canada, Honda dealers do not stock S2000's. They are special order only. So, for that reason, I am asking you all if there are any cars out there with a silver very comparable to Sebring so that I can get an idea of the hue. I am hoping they have a Sebring at the Toronto Auto Show, but am not holding my breath.

Any help is appreciated.

The Sebring is a light Silver. Check out similar color on other new Hondas (i.e. Accord) at dealer. Make sure you take the dealer's paint sample outside in the sun so you will get a realistic idea.

You can check out VW's Reflex Siver. It is a light silver also and I think is somewhat close to Honda's...You can see it on the MK4's (Jettas/Golfs/GTI's)



Good Luck

Corvettes have a Sebring Silver also and it looks identical to me. Early NSX's also have Sebring Silver. Here is mine in bight sunlight where it looks lightest.

I was thinking the same thing. Looks (oddly enough) like the Sebring Silver on my Z28
