Thought to note:
Any metallic color is going to be a PITA to match if anything ever happens. I can usually spot a repaint on a metallic right away because it's so hard to match the same colors of metallic flake as well as density. Several local body shops have laughed when they saw the yellow and said they wouldn't work on it.
I have red, and I love it. Depending on what light it's in, the red is vibrant or in the evening, it looks like a deep, dark blood red. I had never had a red car before, but this one called to me in red! I'm not sorry I got it in red, but...
Austin_S2000 spent some time behind me on a drive last weekend, and I have to tell you that the white grows on you, and QUICK. I really like the white!

I thought I would vote for Suzuka Blue.
Most people say it is much better in daylight and I agree! It is also the new color of 02 (as well as Sebring silver). The interior is actually quite nice in blue. Have had very positive comments and compliments on this color! My second choice would have been the silver with the red interior.
Good luck on your decision.

I actually don't live in Mboro anymore, moved to Westborough and then to springfield (temporarily). I'll be moving to the Mboro area in a few months but I go there almost every other day on my way to work (in NH) - good 2 hrs drive. So, basically I drive all over new england on a regular basis - from CT to MA to NH to ME!
I really don't think the weather here ever stops you from doing anything (except for going to the beach, unless you like adventures). I currently drive a prelude and with the snows (pirelli 210s) I've even gone to work when the norearster brought us 8 inches of snow last time. The highways are clear all the time, anyways. I guess, the only drawback is you can't drive with the top down. I know the S2K is a RW compared to my FW lude, but I'm sure with the snows on it and a little bit of common sense, i should be fine. I'm researching tires now, havent had time to search thru previous posts yet, did anyone find a good winter tire for the S2K. I'm going to stick with the Pirelli 210s unless someone recommends a better tire.
Man, this waiting is killing me!
PS: suvh8r - that's a killer picture! If i'd seen it earlier I would have gone for yellow right away without starting this thread.
