Nothing looks better than a clean Berlina IMO. Its just a lot more work to keep it clean than any other color.

Its worth it to me though.

I have Sebring now. It's very boring compared to my old GPW.

White photographs well and looks clean in person, but its also very 'flat' and like the other non metallics (NFR and Berlina) lacks a 'premium feel'. If you compare it to SSM, Sebring, Suzuka, even Spa/Rio look expensive due to the metallic flake.

I wanted a GPW when I was shopping around (which is suppose to be one of the most sought after colors) - but then again if its so amazing, why don't more owners order them in GPW new? SSM is still the most popular color for the S2000 and the car looks great in it.

I like the GPW, but I prefer the pearl.

I think part of the problem is that the DEALERS don't order GPW. If you search inventory, most will have silvers and blacks because those are the safe colors that generally sell well, regardless of what car it is. And, a lot of people buy what's off the lot instead of waiting a couple of months for an order (impatience) and/or because dealers are more ready to deal with existing inventory.

I personally think silver cars are extremely boring and bland and it doesn't help that there are 5 silver cars on the road for every other color out there.

When I bought mine, it was a decision between LBP and GPW. After thinking about it for a little bit, I think I would've gotten tired of LBP and stuck with GPW. And for the record, I did order my GPW as opposed to going to a dealer that had LBPs in stock. I still think LBP is a great color, though.

I didn't like my Sebring when I got it but back around 2000 every other car was silver, now, not so much so a silver sport car is no longer as common as seeing a white ford F150. I like it ok but Rio Yellow is my all time favorite S2K color. I don't like Silverstone simply because it's the most common S2000 color. Rare is good. Rio, Sebring and LBP seem to be the least common S colors on the road.

i haven't seen a gpw up close...saw one pass by tho and it was amazing. lbp i've also seen one pass by and it was equally amazing. sebring with full red is also amazing. these 3 colors would be my top 3 choices. then the rest are all eh...either too boring or too tacky. (don't want THAT much attention)
I agree. LPB is absolutely amazing...it completely makes the S look like an entirely different car. Sebring Silver with the all red interior is stunning and very rare as well ...I don't mind GPW, but IMO it doesn't have that "wow" factor in person as it does in the photos.

I agree that LBP is the hottest S2k color.. which is why I had my VS-XXs done in it!

You have to own a Sebring Silver to see why it shines more than Berlina (which everyone thinks shine the most) or any other color under street light.
