Yeah. The yellow paint made the car too fast so they had to keep it out of the US after 03/04.

Saw this one on the streets of Tokyo the other day. Certainly an eye catching color.

I tried to buy mine in August '04, and the dealer checked and said that there were no more (new) yellow Evos because they weren't shipping them any longer to the US. I told them it was yellow or nothing, and left. The dealer called me back about a week later and said that there was one yellow Evo on a boat in Japan heading for the US, and that it absolutely the last one (for the US). Coulda been BS, but I ordered it anyway and it came in about 5 weeks later. I'm certain that it is among the last yellow US Evo 8's.
