i thought yellow was sick and still do but started thinking man can i really daily drive a yellow car for many many years?

i used to hate nfr...now it's one of my top choices.

sorry no offense to suzuka owners but that color is rockbottom on my choices list and probably would pass even if i found it for a steal.

IMHO yellow on any car is horrible. Doesn't matter if it a Porsche or a Pontiac I just think it's a bad color. I think it cheapens the car.

Leave yellow to the flowers and school buses.

But it's only one persons opinion.

Depends what you associate the color yellow with.

Some people associate red with danger, others associate it with passion.

I associate yellow with fun and sunshine. But if you associate yellow with rice, then probably not a good idea to get yellow. Even rice comes in many colors, there's brown rice, wild rice, white rice.

One thing about yellow is it's a tough car to photograph nicely.

In person to me white, Rio, and silver are the best s2000 colors.

I would not go just by online photos. Take a look at the cars in person.

I'm surprised that nobody is concerned about the potential difficulties of color matching in the event of repainting. I have heard that the yellow is a special process, and quite difficult to match. My New Formula Red need a new bumper, as a result of an accident five years ago. The repaint is still undetectable.....
