Default What Color to Get

What is thebest color to get from these choices: Grand Prix White, Spa Yellow, or Sazuka Blue. I was considering the silver but there are so many of them. I want something a bit more rare. Thanks.

PS Would insurance run higher on a yellow s2k as opposed to a white one???

It's hard to choose a color cause they all look good, but my fav is either between yellow, silver, or blue. The dealer made my decision for me, cause silver was the only one that they had when i decided to purchase my car. But your'e right, there are way too many silvers on the road.

I have a Spa Yellow Pearl S2000 and my insurance company didn't care what color it was. If anything yellow should be lower since people are more likely to see your car and not pull out in front of you.

If you're looking for rarity, sounds like the white is for you. In the end, do you really want to make a decision based on rarity. Buy the color that really appeals to you, not your sense of which car is more rare. Unless, you are really considering rarity in terms of resale, and that may be a double-edged sword(silver is more popular and will likely continue that way). If you are going to own the car for 5+ years, wouldn't you rather have the color you enjoy looking at every day? All of the above choices are excellent, hell I would drive in any of these colors with no problems or concerns, but in the end I chose the color that appealed to me the most and still look at it in the garage before going to bed on some nights and . Anyway, any color choice is great, after all they are all S2K's.

Just follow my rule of thumb for choosing sports car colors:
If the color is appropriate for a Buick sedan, it's not a good choice for a sports car.
Get the yellow one.

(And I've never seen an insurance company that cared what color a car was. )

Black is best... when it's recently washed
