Default New NSX Brochure

I requested the new NSX brochure, which arrived on Christmas Eve - just in time for me to think it was an omen and I may get one as a Christmas present off my wife. The NSX wasn't on the drive come Christmas morning...
... but when reading the brochure I was surprised to find that as well as few S2000 colours, you can also get the NSX in White.

I really wanted my S in White (with the full red interior) - the CTR and the NSX are available in white, yet allegedly the colour that doesn't sell well in the UK. What logic is at work in the Honda marketing department?

personally I am not sure white would flatter the shape of the S2000 - I don't think it would show the lines off in the best way - ever seen a white Ferrari?

Have seen an S2000 in white and it looks OK. But not as nice as the other colours, IMHO so I guess you're right, zero_to60 !

yeah and the Testarossa looked awful - red is the only colour for the Testarossa IMHO - it shows the rear aspect of the car off much better

Owning a white micra, they are a git to keep clean.

It looks semi white / light grey and then when you clean it the difference is amazing.

I clean the S every couple of weeks at the most if not more, could you imagine a white S it would be cleaned every day.

I think white will look nice also with the red interior. when i first went to the dealer, i asked for white color, but they said they never come white standard. I got black and i love it ALL THE COLOR ON THE S LOOK NICE

I guess you pays your money and takes your choice... but I love white cars and the S2000s I've seen in print look great IMHO.

Whatever, it wouldn't be any big deal to let those of who want a white S have one - it's not as if there would be a field of 'em lying about to be sold as they're all made to order right?

I reckon it'll be the "voice of the dealer" spouting all that residual value shite - that's gotta be the reason there's so many cars (and S2000s for that matter...) in Silver - surely no one chooses silver because they actually like it

Wasnt there one on the film Dirty rotten scoundrels with Michael Cane and Steve Martin. It looked horrible and Im sure the S would look horrible in white too.
