No more Suzuka Blue this year?
Was reading through posts the other day and I saw this
Anyone else heard anything about this? I am supposed to be getting a June build blue, but now I am starting to wonder. Of course my contact at the dealership is on vacation right now, so I thought I'd check the fountain of knowledge that is s2000online and see if anyone can confirm or deny.

All the orders for Blue have been replaced w/ Sebring/Black per the Sales and the Inventory managers... They advsed they ran out of interiors for the Blue ....

If true, then I am glad I got mine when I did! 
I think it sounds like a sales ploy to me though....
I do know that the Suzuka Blue touchup paint is like impossible to find, I still need to find some.

Not sure but I went to my dealer last week and they said they can still order them, so I did. I was told that Suzuka Blue will not be available for 2003, but then again that could just be the dealer doing their usual BS to get you into signing the paper. I was also told they made less Suzuka Blue than they did with Spa Yellow and White.

My dealer said only 2% of all S2000's brought into the country were suzuka blue (at the time of purchase at least) and did mention a few weeks ago that Honda probably would cease production of the color after this year which I find to be great news! Not sure about them ending the run early due to interior hide availabilities but I would hate to see myself coming and going...as is, I'm the only suzuka blue in my state.
However, I'm sure that will change by mid-summer.
