Yes I know there are a lot of silver cars out there.

But not many of them are s2ks.

I am pleased for you and jealous. But:

IMHO there are too many Silverstones. They will start to "stick". 40-45% of buyers cannot continue to buy silver forever.

As to the next colour, who knows. I fancy that new red.

Thanks scov.

"They will start to "stick". 40-45% of buyers cannot continue to buy silver forever."

Why not?

I think they'll always look good.

But then thats more down to the car, not the paint.

As I said, 'vive la difference'.

I just wonder if jizz white would quite as popular if it was a standard Honda UK offer/ejaculation.

Not sure about the fridge magnet look...

When the integra was only available in white (for a while) I seem to remember folk just wishing they could have it in red or black.

Grass is always lime greener.

These people are obviously idiots though.
The Integra looks terrible in any colour but Championship White, same goes for the new model. And all CTR variants.

To answer your question though, no I don't think on the S2000 it'd be very popular if it was a UK colour. Half the attraction of the S in white is the fact that you need to import to get it.

Or if they did do it, the only combination they should legally be allowed to offer would be white with red seats. White/Black looks wrong IMO.

On Type R models the attraction is that white=Type R.

I think the clue is, many new cars (LR Discovery, etc) are now being launched in white.

There is a theory it is "the new silver" or whatever bollocks fashion victims say.

I note that many new "expensive" must-have cars are in black these days.

The reign of silver may be ending.

Oh, congrats on the new car BTW!
