from my suzuka point of view they seem to look very similar. i'm assuming they're different or they wouldn't have changed the name...can someone explain or post pics of the differences?

p.s. - i would've gotten yellow in retrospect but still love my suzuka

 

I think the real question here is, does it matter? Suzuka is way better than icky yellow

 

eh...they're all good except for sebring and NFR. ick

 

Yeah, they're different. Rio is "darker" in person.

 

Spa is better in person
Rio is better in pictures

 

"better" is subjective.

I think Rio looks better in person.

 

As a Berlina owner and not much of a yellow car person, I'd have to say Rio is better in pictures and in person. It's a bit darker, seemed to have more fleck in it and to me just looks richer. I test drove an '04 Rio and remember thinking it was a pretty decent shade/color for a yellow .

Rio has too much flake. I would probably think different if I owned one though.

 

Rio pwns Spa in person. In photos it's hard to tell which yellow is which unless they're side by side.


(stolen from the other RIO thread... thx)

Note the SPA in the foreground (nearest to camera) and the RIO in the back.

Rio has a bunch of pearl and metallic flake in it, it's quite a beautiful color to behold in the sun- it subtly shows off the S2k's curves rather well. Not quite as well as Suzuka maybe, but still pretty good .

 

Yes, rio yellow is darker and has more sparkle in the paint
