Grand Prix white with red and black interior is the best, I can't wait for them to bring that scheme back in 07.

How often does some big SUV change into your lane without seeing you?
Are S2000s kind of invisible to trucks? Is that a good reason to get a yellow one?
Happens almost daily. Had the same problem in the old Miata, so make sure I'm not overlapping anyone's bumper on street or freeway. But then, the way people drive 'round here, would probably happen in anything you're driving

Wow, back from the dead! Rereading the posts, the Silver owners are very upset with the OP's comments!

Anyway, I have a free 30 min before my next meeting, so I searched Cars.com for used S2000s based on color (keyword only). My results:

Silver - 234
Black - 227
Red - 176
Blue - 101
Yellow - 76
White - 36

Not many used white or yellow S2000s out there! Also, based of this sample, of the 850 cars for sale (with a color assigned)L

Silver - 28%
Black - 27%
Red - 21%
Blue - 12%
Yellow - 09%
White - 04%

Kind of interesting.

The human retina contains two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. The rods are more numerous, some 120 million, and are more sensitive than the cones. However, they are not sensitive to color. The 6 to 7 million cones provide the eye's color sensitivity. These photoreptors send color interpretation to the occipital lobe of the brain through neuro pathways.

Now... It is a well known fact among the medical community that white, yellow, and red S2K owners have a direct neuro association between the occipital lobe of the brain and the limbic system. The limbic system is the collective name for structures in the human brain involved in emotion, motivation, and emotional association with memory. It is more active in extroverts and risk-takers than in introverts and cautious people.

Hope this answers your question: "Why do the white and yellow S2000s look so good?"

I would be happy with any color S, but for some reason the Yellow ones, and the White ones really grab my attention. The Blue ones also look great.

What do people like about the black and silver and charcoal ones? They are fine and all, just a bit boring. Interestingly, thats about all i see for sale.
