Clearly two blues in one city of 130,000 is too many.
Seriously, I think it's odd there are so few Suzukas; it's the only color offered that is simultaneously colorful and subtle, which you would think many would appreciate. (BTW, it isn't what I was looking for; I wanted a yellow. Yep, subtle is me.) Yes, the interior is a bit much for some people, but others love it and again I'd expect some sales on that basis. It's widely believed that Honda offered the color in order to get female buyers; didn't work (since they basically didn't get anybody to buy it; I wonder what the m/f breakdown is). I keep waiting for Honda to drop the color, which would be cool from my perspective, and if they dumped it for Monte Carlo Blue then everybody would be happy.

Has anyone seen sales figures broken down by color?
The interior took a bit of getting used to, but now I like it quite a bit. It does get quite a few compliments, primarily from women, so I think Honda's thinking wasn't too far off. I do think I would still trade for a yellow -- if anyone has an 02 or 03 Spa and wants to swap, let me know (but don't tell my car I said this!).

Red was also my 1st choice for a convertible until I talked to my mom. She said I was too young to buy a red convertible and that I needed to wait about 20 years when I am in my mid 50s and I NEEDED a red convertible to attract 20-something year old women. She said until then, to use my good looks and intelligence.

Now can you imagine how many blue S2k's would be running around if Honda had brought over the Monte Carlo blue? That would've been my first choice by far.
Oh, and another note, there are way too many Berlina's running around in Irving. I've seen 5 different cars so far.
