Don't buy a specific color for "collector value". I hate to break it to you, but unless they only make the Evo a 2003-only car (which they won't), the Evo will be just another fast car. True collectibles are far fewer in number. I bet my S2000 will be more collectible, just from a numbers standpoint. Just enjoy your Evo - get the color you like best. Of course, I have a BBY Evo, so if I'm wrong, I'm still ahead...

 

everywhere in the world such as HK, Japan, etc, blues werent selling that well

 

Yellow (maize) goes very well with blue when you're a Michigan fan!

I like the shade of blue on the WRX, the S4 and on the Hondas. I looked forward to the blue Evo, but I just wasn't feeling it when I saw it live at the dealer. It is about the truest primary color blue that I've ever seen. I was hoping for a metallic or some other "not quite" blue.

Red was a close second, but I had two previous red cars and I wanted something different. Black looks great at night, but I wasn't ready for a black. White would be great if I wanted to do graphics. Silver is cool, but my dealer didn't have a silver car available. I chose YELLOW!

 

i was going for either red or yellow cuz i couldnt decide. called up my parents in HK. Dad went to Mitsu dealers in HK and called me back. He said get the yellow.

 

I plan on color-sanding the paint and then throwing a bunch of coats of clearcoat with metal flake to lighten and metallicize the blue - it should come out pretty cool... A pain to color-match later though.

 

i doubt the S2000 is more rare than the EVO at this point... i see a half dozen S2K's a week, whereas i have yet to see another EVO on the road in 3 months of having mine...

kinda cool, but would like some competition...

 

Here in the South, I have the only Silver Evo I have seen.

The dealers here have Red, Black, and Yellow primarily. I did see one blue one the other day.

Blue was actually my first choice, but I could not find one in stock in my area when i was buying in April. I'm am quite happy with Silver, as it seems to be a bit resistant to the radar gun.

Hasn't Honda been making S2000's at a rate of 10,000-20,000 cars per model year? And the S2000 has been out for 3 model years already. So there are probably about 40,000-50,000 of em on the road at this point.

The Evo has been in production for half a year now. And they projected that they would be making 5,000-6,000 of em this year. So there are prob, at most, about 5k of em on the road at this point...

40,000 > 5,000.....

So unless Mitsu really brings up the production numbers, the Evo will always be rarer than the S2000.
