Default Sebring vs Silverstone

I finally got to see these two side by side. I've seen them individually but never together until now. Both look really good. Somehow, the Silverstone looks darker than it does when you see it by itself. Anyway, flip a coin.......

I saw these at Gillman Honda under the Beltway 8 and Hwy 59 S in Houston. They also had three MY03's, two in GPW and one in Spa Yellow. One of the GPW's had a sign hanging from the inside mirror that said, "Was $39,995, Now $31,995!" It was all I could do to keep from busting a gut. The car's got the Honda rear spoiler and front lip on it as well as the factory alarm and wheel locks. They're asking $1,250 or more for the spoiler, front lip and alarm, EACH! This place must really be hard core on their pricing because that GPW had an inspection sticker in the windshield that expires in January of 2005. New cars in Texas get inspection stickers that are good for two years so that one was probably applied in January of 2003. If I'm right, they've had it on the lot for over a year now. It's hard to believe a dealer would hang onto inventory that long but...........?

FWIW,
Drive Safe,
Steve R.

Dang, I was hoping this thread to be a grudge match between Sebring owners and Silverstone owners.

And because I, a Silverstone owner, just posted this pic, Silverstone wins by default.

PSsshh...Silverstone shouldn't even be called silver. Its more of a grey then silver.

Silverstone Metallic SHOULD be : GBM- Grey Boring Metallic
