1. I had red cars with black interior for decades, the blue interior is refreshing, and the exterior does help hide the fact that I don't wash it enough; when it sits next to my son's Rio yellow 04 that he's had for less than a month, it does look like an old man's color now.

Any black car looks good at night but its during the day that all the flaws come out. I've had two black cars and hated it after some time.. I could see black being worse top down though considering black attracts heat more than any other color out there.

I wasnt too keen on the blue interior at first. i spent 3 months going back and forth on whether to buy or not, and finally i went and said f@#k it and bought it. i was afraid it would be 'overwhelmingly blue' but now i dont even notice it 2 months in. aside from when look at it and say, damn, you're beautiful you sexy beast car.

Black but I don't see the point in polling on matters of preference such as color. Check out the options in person and decide for yourself. You really should check it out and have it inspected first anyway.

I think I'd drive any color. Heck pink isn't even a limiting factor for me. So it's really up to you.

Black is nice and 'looks fast' but hard to stop scuffs. Also keep in mind it gets hot.

It's all up to your preference and what YOU like. After all, you'll be the one driving it and seeing it everyday, not us.

As far as my preference, I would go Berlina even though I told myself I wouldn't own another black car. Nothing looks better than a clean black car, but thats the problem, a CLEAN one. So hard to keep clean and swirl marks are tough to avoid. I like Suzuka from the outside but the overly blue interior kills it for me.

Best of luck in your decision.

Suzuka Blue with white wheels, could any S2000 look better? I don't think so. There are some pictures on this forum with this combo. check em out and see if you don't agree.

Despite the extra effort required to keep the berlina black clean, I would still pick it over Suzuka. I sat in a SB while I was shopping for a S2000 and the blue interior was too difficult to look past.

I have seen more women in spa/rio than any other color.
this. As a Berlina owner, I can attest to being a detail whore. Rock chips show pretty bad as well.
