If I ever have to replace the top on my Suzuka, it's definitely getting the blue soft top. Professor, we've already got a blue dash. In fact it's difficult to find something that isn't blue. I love it.

Every time I read the title to this thread I chuckle. Suzuka Blue? Why, why, oh why!

I was going for the Suzuka until I saw the blue interior that looks so tacky and the blue dash board that looks so cheap. My other car is a steel blue so I ended up with the Sebring.

I thought it was a soft, rich, classy color that called out to me when the other colors didn't so I'm loving my susuka and will get a blue top if I ever have to replace current one. Blues rule!

The suzuka blue is the most "elegant" looking color (except for white, that is not available in Europe )
What makes Suzuka blue exceptional, is the "tone in tone" color combo with the blue interior and the blue soft top!

I've got a Silverstone/black because the Suzuka wasn't offered in 2001. Otherwise I would have bought it.

These days, it seems like half the cars on the road (and 3/4 of the S2000's) are silver. My local Honda dealer told me the reason there are so many silver S2000's. He said it was because dealers usually order silver because that color is the easiest to trade to another dealer if someone wants another color.

Spa is nice, but it reminds me of too many yellow Mustangs on the road.

When I saw the Suzuka in the brochure, I knew that had to be the color. It is very close to the blue that I had on a 1968 Pontiac LeMans and that I liked very much.

But the Number 1 reason: The blue leather interior.

Black leather figures to be much too hot in the sun. Red figures to fade quickly in sunlight. Tan leather would have been acceptable but it is available only on the Grand Prix White.

I may have the same car (perhaps the mileage is a bit different) but if I can strike the "right deal" I may want to swap houses with some of you?
