Default Is the Dark Blue Available in Canada?

Just wondering how I can buy a Dark Blue S2k. I'm about 6 hours from Canada and am wondering if the color is available there.

Are there any mechanical differences between the US & Canadian models and how hard is it to bring into the US?

The Canadian cars have running lights.

The Canadian cars have a Canadian warranty, not a American Honda Motors warranty. Unless you can get AHM to honor the Canadian warranty, that would be a deal-breaker for me.

The car is not available in Canada in a dark blue.

Also, it appears to be pretty easy to bring a car in to the US from Canada, considering it's a $4billion a year grey industry. The car is $48500CDN, which equates to about $30,100US, and the dealers up here are starting to deal on it. However, they are not allowed to sell you a car unless you can provide proof of Canadian residency (ie a Canadian address).

I hate Honda. They knew if they gave Canada the Blue, then they will migrate slowly into the US. Does anyone know WHY Honda wouldn't bring the blue to the US?

The dark blue is available only in nations where drivers can read.

What do you mean? Read what? Speed limits? Street signs?

Let me re-ask the question since you are so picky.


To all,

Why wouldn't Honda bring the blue to Canada and NA? Why is it that they only offer it in Japan, Europe, Australia, and other countries?

I think for Honda, the NA market (including Can.) is a huge one. Perhaps rivaling the cars sold in the rest of the world. Maybe they just ran out of that color of paint!
