Why is it so hard to find a GPW S2K?

check the crweb information again, because your numbers are wrong according to that post, unless you have other information to prove otherwise.

there were 90 total gpw cr's produced out of a run of 668 total cr's made over a two year span (2008-2009). still, gpw cr's are the rarest color of the cr's.

On average, Honda made around 460 GPWs each year from the numbers I've seen. Considering the number that have been wrecked, and you'd have even less to buy.

So, its a rare color, plus people that have GPWs don't sell them that often - they love them!

Have you seen this thread? https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=729838

For each model year, GPW is actually the rarest color. In total, the numbers differ because of the years the colors were available, but for each year, Honda made fewer GPWs than other colors.

Its hard to fine, but worth it imo - I looked for three months to find mine.

Lol insurance is just as much for white as it is for yellow. But if i went with the yellow it would be Rio not Spa. I LOVE GPW and wanted one for such a long time with red or black interior. Than i say a drove a CR and had to have one but ended up with a Rio Yellow instead i still love it if i could i would probaly trade for a GPW. I would keep looking till u get the car of ur dreams

basically simple rule "demands and suppply" applies to GPW.
there is high demands but the supply can not satisfy the number of demands....

I thought there were a total of 698 CRs made. i own a rio yellow CR i could be wrong though if i am thats good that means my car is a little bit more rare than i thought

GPW is deff a hot seller. I listed my 05 salvage title for 13.5k and it sold within 2 days. Guy travelled almost 1k miles to pick it up.

I looked in the "official" color thread and Rio yellow wasn't on the list. What's the diffference, and did I make it to the states?
