Has anyone figured out why Honda did this? I can understand why Canada would receive fewer color choices, since they are a smaller market than the US. (I'm not saying it's right... ) However, why would they get a color combination that's not offered in the US?

Did some marketing person decide that Canadians like blue interiors better than tan or black? Did they plan on selling more of these in Quebec? (Blue/white = the colors in the Quebec flag), or did they just do it for the hell of it?

It's good Honda is testing out new color combinations (we all know Honda is very conservative). So I applaud them for trying something different.

Maybe they did some research and found different areas did indeed like different color combinations. Who knows.

I don't understand why, if all S's come from Japan, all the colour options aren't available. I realize federal legislation plays a role, but damn I want that orange!!!

If I had a choice, I would get White/Red.

I am not 100% fond of the blue interior. It looks kinda like an interior of a cheap 1980's American car , especially after the dealer conditioned my panels with some shiny agent that makes the blue darker than it would otherwise when dry. Take a look at my door panel where it meets up to the front dash. Notice the dash is lighter in color compared to the door? That's because the dealer did not put that conditioning stuff on the dash (I guess they were afraid it would give off too much glare). Anyway, I would rather have the door panel left in that color. My first reaction when I picked up the car was! "man, the interior looks so dark and oily. Looks like a used car!"

I would much much prefer a red interior which has a race car feel to it.

I also agree with partial blue only. I feel like I am in smurf land when I am inside the car.
