Default '02 powder blue? EEEEEWWWWW!

Through VTEXTC and Skitzo urging me to go to the Honda place to look at the new blue S2000, I finally did. May I now apologize in advance to all those who own and like this color. I don't intentionally mean to offend but I'm sure I will anyway. They can call it "Suzuka" or whatever they want, this thing, to me, is "powder puff" blue. I don't think I'll EVER be that in touch with my feminine side to own a car this color. Just walking around it, I felt myself getting "light" (in my casual foot wear). My wrist started to go a bit "un-taut". And it took me at least a mile from that place before I got rid of the lithhhp -- AAAARRRGGGHHHH! I still have it.

It almost seems you were becoming "GAY" from being around this color. . .

Maybe it takes someone who is confident in their sexuality to have the Suzuka Blue!

Just kidding. . .and no matter what, this thread is going to get some flamers! Oops, I mean flames. . .yes flames. . .that's it!

I think any S2000 geared with this would be awesome!

Here's a pic of the Suzuka Blue that I think looks pretty sweet!

The thing that got me when I saw my first one, was how the color traveled.

First I saw it in the showroom floor, it was a bit to light in color and too soft, but it was okay because it almost looked like a very blue silver; not for me but not bad. As I was contemplating the exterior I started to think the interior could be okay, and maybe even fantastic in a Sebring Silver car. Then they asked if I would help push it outside. It was a bright sunny day, as the car rolled out the door into the sun it went from Blue/Silver to Blue/Lavender. My opinion went from okay to no way!

I will admit I like the interior color, it just needs a better exterior color as a partner. Now I have seen the all red interior and that makes me run to the bathroom, but the all blue interior is really kind of cool!

IMHO.

And yes, I have a Spa on order and I know there are lots of people who think that is an ugly color... to each their own!

Suzuka2k,

If it's any consolation, when I bought my spa yellow s2k in April, I heard the same thing, re: color. Three dealerships told me how "rare" the spa yellow was and that they were only painting 5% s2k's that color. After reading this forum, I think it's more like 90%

You are right. . .a much different color when it hits the sun!

don't think the blue is quite "eeeeewwwww", but also don't think it suits the s2000.

airgate - that is a great shot of the Suzuka blue, it's mostly covered up by white!
