Before seeing the S I was going to get the blue. Once I saw Silver/Red I was sold.

Silver/Red at last year's NY auto show. That did it for me!

Agree w/ gsquared. This baby's a keeper - it get's better after every ride.

No regrets. I had my choice of any color available through AHM, including Indy Yellow (Spa Yellow state-side). My '93 Prelude is blue/green pearl and looks black except in direct sunlight.

Blue is the colour the US is all excited about.

Why? Because you can't get it!

This is the same as yellow was in 2000. So yellow is released and every man and his dog gets yellow. Don't get me wrong, the yellow looks awesome, and on a car as standoutish as the S it suits fine. Just don't buy it for it's individuality. That won't last long.

As Monty Python said:

Brian - 'You are all individuals'

The croud as one - 'Yes, we are all individuals'

One guy in crowd - 'I'm not'

For me it had to be Silver. I could have taken delivery two months sooner if I had been willing to settle for another color.
If you don't have the time to wash your car every day or two, then Silver is the way to go because it looks cleaner longer.

1) Silver because it was the Silver Anniversary car for Honda
2) Silver because its practical and hades dirt better than the other colors
3) Silver because it shows the lines better than blue
4) Silver because its better than re (whoops did I let that slip out again...)

That being said, I really like the blue having seen it in Australia, but if it were made available, I'd still stick with silver for all the above reasons. BUT, if I got another one (in additiona, not replacement) I'd get blue, which would be my second choice.

No question.

Silver/Red was the only choice for me and the first dealership I went to had it ready and waiting. My car looks like a giant Nike (before their designs got ugly).
Plus, the red interior with a hardtop is too cool. Now all I gotta do is wait for that to come in (3-6months,jeez!) and I'll be all set!

You forgot:

5) Silver is the least-likely color to attract
police attention.
