Platinum White is available. A friend has one on order.
It really suits the car, too!

I saw a platinum white in Weston today and nearly traded my NSX for it! A very nice car in a colour I thought I'd never like.

Cheers,


James.

Mustard mit, that Honda cybermall's soo tempting.

Always throws me out at the end, though.

I love the idea of a Type-S turning up in a Sprinter!

I agree. Burgundy will now be the most sought after colour on a used S2000. Hence, if anyone wants my car it will cost them

Those wheels wouldn't look out of place on an MX-5 or even a Jazz. They're making it look ever less focussed during each iteration.

I'll bet the next one has 7 seats and a folding rear tailgate, with a novel sliding door on the side to let the kids out from.

You beat me to it. The poverty spec. 1.8 MK3 MX-5 has cheapo wheels like these.

Honda certainly knows how to whip up enthusiasm for its ageing sports car, and all on a budget. Not.

Delete some colours
Add ANOTHER silver zzzzzzzzzzzzzz oh please
Faff about with seat trim.
Go the easy route making VSA etc standard.

No improvement on colours to suit todays fashion, including the highly desrable white.
Too expensive I suspect to make steering column adjustable, or create more cockpit room.

But I still love it.

This is exactly what we said back in 2001. The car was ruined 5 years ago.

Looks like they're scaling back to me, I'm with Chesh on this one. Wheels are yucky, but what a shame they're getting rid of the more interesting colours.

Looks like they're sticking to the safe colours (i.e. what will sell the most) and getting rid of the minority stuff.

Surprised they're getting rid of the red/black interior though, I thought that was really popular?

I know I'm going to get shot for saying this but VSA should have been standard in 06. Everything else is fairly dull
