Silver seems to the most popular at both sides of the Pacific. Mine's also silver, but with red interier, which is not as common as silver/black.

When I was buying my car almost two months ago, white was the hardest color to get, then it was silver w/ red. This was in the Boston area.

Well, there will be no more silverstone silver once the MY2001's done.

Yes, white looks pretty cool, I've seen it few times.
Very rare indeed.

I especially like the way white glistened at night time by moon light, very cool.

I wish they would have used Honda's 1999 "pearl white" color instead, I would have bought one. I still think the particular '00-'01 shade of silver is awesome. I get many comments (weekly) on the color alone. I canceled my order for a 2002 because I couldn't part with my '00 silver in trade for the new blue-ish/silver.... yuck!

Black looks ultra cool but as a owner of many past black cars it doesn't stay that way unless you keep it garaged and never park it in a lot with other cars. In other words, you need a bubble around a black car.

Best looking stock S2:

1.) Black with hardtop (while the finish lasts)
2.) Silver with hardtop

modified looks:
red with wht (volk) wheels (one of our members)

Yes, I think that would be a super color. I think I've seen it on a Prelude and really like it. White isn't as bad as you would think about showing dirt. At least in Southern California, the dirt doesn't show so bad on white. My wife has a white Saturn and it needs a wash about the same time my silver truck does. If I lived in Georgia (red dirt) I'd think white would look dirty much sooner. Anyway, I'm keeping my silver. Black and red seem to have more depth with a great wax, but they're too hot for our climate.

White is definitely a rare color here in the states. At the last West LA meet, I think the yellow cars outnumbered the white cars. There were 2 white S2Ks out of 40 cars.
