Okay guys I hope I can help, and not confuse. Or heck, maybe I am the one confused. I am one of the Internet Managers for the 2nd Largest Honda Dealership in the North American Market. I have sold 2 Spa Yellow S2000's and have yet a 3rd sitting with 7 others in my show room. I can provide vin #'s as proof, or pictures. As for the roof, it is a piece that is ordered VIN# specific from Japan, and takes approximately 120 days for its arrival. And for the Special Edition, not to my knowledge. Best of luck finding a S2000.

Well, yes I have/had big plans to attend the Edmonton Motorshow. According to the canadian news this particular spa yellow s2k is suppose to be there. Anyway, I am not ruling out this plan. When I can convince the boss to not send me elsewhere that weekend. BTW, the show runs Mar 2, 3 4

Hey, I'm just telling you guys what I heard. If yellow is for the North American market, how come we don't get white or blue? Seems strange to me.

Utah S2K,
The Canadian market only gets black/black, black/red, silver/black, silver/red and red/black for '00 and '01. White, blue and yellow are unavailable colours here. What I understand from the article I quoted is that for a limited time yellow will be available delivered with a hardtop but on special order only. Honda Canada apparently started taking orders for the hardtop from existing owners as far back as Oct '00. (I'm one of them ) Production will not start until late Feb - early Mar '01 for these orders. I'm assuming that this special order is a shortcut for buyers to get the car and the hardtop together without a separate order after purchase. IMHO.

I've got a confirmation from honda canada today.. we will get the yellow special edition model with the hard top.. they'r asking for $53K for that.. the hard top is a forced option.

That's $5000 for the hard top? I'm sure you can get it for a lower price, but if they throw in the stand as well...

i know the hard top doesn't worth $5000 but u know that spa yellow is so limited in #'s, especially in canada.. i don't see a reason why they could charge $53K for the whole thing....
