Alright, other than the fact that it matches most any color, and that it looks damn good in the S2000, why did Honda choose to put black interior in the majority of S2000s? Being that black absorbs sooooo much heat, it just seems a lighter color would've been a more practical choice for an open top car. I know blue and tan are offered, but of course limited by exterior options. Again, this is not intended to draw negative sentiment... I'm still nuts about the car and I expect delivery of my own '05 Silverstone, red/black within the next two weeks. Just wondered why black.

It seemslike a lot of sporty cars use primarily black as the interior color. Maybe Honda thinks it is that much more popular than the other colors?

I too wish the offered more choices. I would like red/Tan or BRG/Tan.

 

i personally cant stand tan.. i wanna buy a 2004 s2k but white/tan =ugly im buying a 2k2 instead casue they didnt have tan

buy tint.. and/or dont sit in car w/ bare back

i live in FL and its direct sun.. and mines never hot.. put top up when u walk away and get 93% tint.. and 50% on front

 

Black is a staple of interior colors. I Absolutely love my red/black interior, but some people I describe it to think it's a little gaudy. I imagine those people would prefer black. Black looks good, doesn't need cleaning as often as tan, and is a good conservative choice.

 

I went for the full red interior as I thought all black was a little boring, I think they should have at least put a few more styling details in there to break it up a bit.

 

In some states, you wouldn't get past you first cop with that kind of tint!

Black interior is pretty boring, and everyone has it. Some colers need black though, silver, yellow, and black.

 

Actually 93% tint is hardly any tint at all. Tints are rated by the amount of light they let through, not the amount they block.

 

Black is used in most cars' interiors because it reduces reflections in the windscreen and other windows, enabling the driver to better see out.

 

IMO sports need colored interior. Black is just the regular look, doesn't look superior, doesn't look inferior.

However sports DO NOT look good with tan so I dont know where they went with that one.

I also do not see why some colors get certain colors. When you buy the car, you should be able to select the interior, regardless of exterior color.

 

I wanted black/red interior too but ended up buying black interior. If you look at 2-3 year old Boxsters with Boxster Red interior, you can see the discoloration. And that is not pretty.

Color fades quickly if we drive with the top down often. And the two different color tones will fade at different rates.

The S2000 red/back combo is beautiful though.
