Unless its a week-end fun or hobby car you will curse black. IMO the S2000 suits this shade best of all but unless you're not bothered about keeping it clean and shiny, as an everyday colour its a bind.
How well I remember assorted silver company cars which however dirty always seemed presentable enough. A practical colour but personally, it never got my senses pulsating.

Metallic black if ever available, would be a compromise and Honda could take a lesson from Toyota and their excellent Carbon Quartz dark grey. Even on a cheapo Aygo it looks superb, and the yellow and blue speckles catch the sun. The effect is the equal of any custom paint job.

I'm hoping Honda will bring out a metallic red, with a black/red Premium interior. Am at a loss to understand why Bergundy is included, it's far too near Berlina Black.

Beware the 18" alloys..

Check the FAQ's and maybe search here, I recall several threads where 18" rims had problems. Can't recall what the issue was though.

Looks nice !

I'd change to the 17" MY04+ OEM alloys.

18" are & you may need to slam (lower) the S !
