I suppose there's nothing to prevent me importing a new car from a Japanese dealer?

As long as David also makes a fortune, I am happy with that.

Does the dog wag the tail or does the tail wag the dog? Manufacturers decide that a colour is not popular. So they don't sell them. They think a colour is popular and produce them for the market. It becomes a self fullfilling phophecy and sometimes nobody really understands the demand.

If you want white (or any other colour for that matter), then write to Honda Uk and tell them. If they perceive enough demand then they will bring them in. Or start a poll and if it represents a commercially sensible sample then I will forward the link to the person at HUK who orders the cars and the colours.

In the same way I would love a black, I would also love a white or a `Kobes` purple.

I drifted out from this car, then I went for a drive with my wife today and she said `christ, a lot of people look at you in this car Col`....I said, it aint me they are looking at Bev, people like Ss. Plain and simple.

This shape is five years old FFS. Honda really, like REALLY got it right.


I think I`ve fallen in love again.

It's about time Carper.

I would love a white S too. Plus I could park the black next to it for a Newcastle United effect

You would have thought that Honda would offer all their range of colours for the Imola/Monza/Lime price premium.

It truly is a fantastic car. How the hell can I ever sell this thing? Honda have me by the short and curlies.


Honda, I hate you for making me spend all this money on insurance and tax, that I don`t need to.
