Default My first Monte Carlo Blue sighting in the U.K.

While in London on business, I also spent time with my relatives in Northampton. While driving down the M5 motorway with my uncle, the Monte Carlo Blue came screaming by. We tried to stay up with it as much as possible. Oh, man- it is a beautiful colour. I'll probably never get to own one, but it was heaven just looking at it, especially at 95 mph.

That is the nicest color available I think. Why the don't bring it over the the US is beyond me. I would be first in line to drop of my sebring/red for it.

I've seen one on a Civic it's gorgeous!

Swirl marks can appear on black, red or any dark colour if the owner doesn't take good care of his/her car. A little bit of care while washing will keep swirl marks away. Small price to pay for a nice color

Aw, c'mon. Let us enjoy our fantasy. It's harmless fun. Besides, (and nothing against Accords, my wife has one) an Accord is definitely not an S2000.

I drive by and see this dealer selling a MCB NSX.
I guess it wasn't as great as what i expected.
In Japan they rated the S2000 colors.
And the top two colors from different catagories were the white and the silver.
Cat. 1 had Silver as number 1 and suz. blue number 2
Cat. 2 had White, Silver, and MCB in third place

Don't get me wrong, it is a nice colour and I have nothing against Accords or Civics, I drive an Accord coupe just as much as I drive the S2000.

It is just PITA to keep a very dark colour like MCB or BB in perfect shape. I can't stand swirls, churns my stomach

These are simply ratings. Personally, I think it's silly to "rate" and judge colors. I mean, trying to say one color is "better" than another is an excercise in futility and at best, ridiculous. Color is so subjective and personal with each owner. There's no wrong answer. If the color of your car is what you enjoy, then it's a great color. It's like with any art form, it cannot be compared. Hey, if an owner wants a hot pink S2000, to each his/her own. More power to them.
