Yes - its seemed pretty much the most common colour in Florida. The quality of light in Florida is a little different to UK in October, but there was a yellow car at Rockingham, and even under leaden Northants. skys it looked pretty darn good.

The pics of yellow cars elsewhere on this site don't inspire me at all, but thats the problem isn't it? Cars always look different 'in the metal' to their pictures.
While it's nice to be getting a car which is comparitively rare, one of the problems is seeing examples of each colour - do I play it safe and go for a colour I've seen - or do I take a risk and order something different?
I still like Monte Carlo Blue though...

Yes, I know what you mean about the pictures of yellow cars - not very inspiring at all - but in the metal it does look very striking - I was amazed, I really am not a fan of yellow cars at all.

The pace car at the Rockingham 500 (or 333.33r as it turned out!) was a yellow S2000. It was fitted with a hardtop and very much looked the business.

All this colour stuff is terribly subjective and I would be loath to choose a colour without seeing it in the metal, and that aint that easy with an S2000 - there are not many about!
