There's an Australian review of an MCB with tan interior here:
MCB Review

Not sure if I like the colour mix. At least the reviewer says that we have some torque .

Nice positive report, obviously written by someone who appreciates the car for what it is. A SPORTS CAR!!

Great review!

I noticed this though in the second paragraph:

'Very few storage compartments can be found, except for some small storage nets for driver and passenger, a lockable console between the driver and passenger shoulders (also for access to the CD changer and another small storage cavity), and some space underneath the seats.'



Are Honda now installing the CD player in here now?

Seems like a good idea to me.

Lee.

Probably the fairest review of the car I have ever read. Couldn't have said it better myself

I think I quite like the tan leather in the MCB.

Looks very refined.

The pics appear to show 00/01 style rims.

Looks a bit Jaguar - draw your own conclusions.

yeah you're right although I was thinking more Aston than Jag!

quite fancy a quick trip to my local to see if they've got any new colours in...

I'm no expert of Aussie S2000s but the one in the pictures doesn't look like a stock car to me (or am I missing something) as it doesn't have the "Honda" badges above the "S2000" after the side repeaters.

I wasn't aware you could have the tan interior with anything other than Grand Prix White exterior - MCB with tan looks a lot better to me. White car with tan interior shouts 80s Miami Vice-style...
