White is perfect on this car. I think I read on this website that only 5% of the cars imported to the US are white. Please don't flame me if I am wrong. I am only going on memory. I love for many reasons - among them is white looks clean almost all the time. The tan is awesome. Nice contrast. Get a white HT and you are in heaven.

Every work truck, fleet car and delivery van is white. It not the first color that comes to mind when thinking about a sports car. It's rare for a reason...

White is Japan's national racing color, and there have been more interior/exterior combos for white than for any other color. There aren't a lot of white, red and blue S's compared to the silvers, black and yellow. At meets, I usually have the only GPW, and a Wake the Dragon this year, I heard there was one GPW out of 130 S's - that's pretty remarkable.

White is rare, that doesn't mean it's not popular. I drove 800 miles to get mine.. Get the white with red or red/black interior. I don't really like the GPW with tan interior.





















My next favorite color is Berlina Black with red interior. But still.. GPW > All.

I would have bought white if it came in black interior. I've had tan leather/tan carpeting before and it looks like hell in a few years. The s2000 leather also looks a little cheap in the tan color for some reason.

Same here, Honda dropped the ball with the tan interior.

I totally agree....I have the Muz mats, so carpet looks great, but the tan leather wears to quickly.

Also..I have heard that GPW is rare, but in our New Orleans area group, I can think of 4 members who have GPW. Maybe more, I don't know everyone in the group.
