Rarest color combo?
After reading the NBP/ebony thread, I was wondering if anyone knows what the rarest color/transmission combo is. No one may actually know for sure, but what have you seen the fewest of? I would bet that the black on ebony with the 6 speed is indeed a rare bird. I could care less if it's got Navi or not!
So let's hear it, what's the rarest? ABP might run away with this........did anybody actually buy that color?? I'm kidding of course

I own a black/ebony 6speed with nav. I had a choice of two of that color combo and trim from two different dealers. I can't assume that means that color combo is more common though, I may have just been lucky.

We have the MR-quartz combo, I've only ever seen one other one period, not sure if it's the rarest?
My area is full of Blacks, CG, and SSM....I'd say White is the next I see.
Red, Blue and our MS are the ones I rarely see.
I meant satin silver not Meteor silver like we have.

Anyway, since MSM, ABP, and PWP only come with one interior, I don't think they can be the most rare. It's got to be one of the ones with two interior choices. The less popular interior would make it more rare, since most of the people with the same exterior got the other interior, right? Like NBP/Parchment can't be that common because everyone got NBP/Ebony. I've seen two NBP/Parchment ever. SSM/Quartz is probably pretty rare, too. I would put CG/Quartz in that category, but since every 3rd TSX seems to be CG, it's not even close.
Regardless, I'm going to go with Red/Ebony/Navi/6MT. What do I win? Does anybody even HAVE one of those yet?

My dealer has an AT NBP/Ebony with Navi on the floor that they were willing to drop a couple hundred bucks over the color combo I really wanted. Not my taste, so I'm holding out. Another dealer 20 miles away has the same car. Strange!

I know of one MR/Ebony/6MT/nonNav. That would be mine.

I work at an acura dealer, been here for 5 years. The RAREST would be a MSM/QZ/NAVI/6spd. I have NEVER seen one on my lot. Every other color has shown up at least at one point in time, but NEVER that one. Automatic is another story - they are all pretty available.

ABP/6MT/Navi is pretty hard to come by, i believe. i ordered one in December and it won't be available until March. dealers around here (LA) hardly have 6MTs...i guess a lot of people are deterred by the traffic.

In any case, it wouldn't hurt to call either dealer and check with them. Maya and Yvonne are great gals over at Thomas, and Berry/Barrie (can't remember the spelling of her name) and John Mackay are great people over at Tustin.
And I've seen all colors out on the road, even the elusive IBP, but for some reason I only see the ABP on the lots.

Maybe it's my area or I haven't been around enough, but since I bought my NBP/Ebony, I have only seen 3 TSXs on the hwy:
MR, CG, PWP (not sure what the interior color was)
MR, CG, PWP (not sure what the interior color was)

I haven't seen enough TSXs around to be able to guess what the rarest color combo is, but while we're competeting here I'd bet that there's not a single other MSM/6MT w/Nav and a green ignition ring on the boards here.

I have a 04 MSM/Quartz/non navi/6-spd. I in jacksonville florida. I do not now if there is any truth to this and it did not affect my purchase in any way but when I bought mine the dealer told me that he can only get about 5 of the MSM a year in the 6 spd form. Any body know if there is any truth to this.

Not true. Again, I work at a dealership - we can order whatever combinations we want. Basically we fill out an order form every once in a while and send it in. The factory just puts it together and viola! there it is. So technically a dealer could order 100 of the same color and combo, however it would be stupid. So i guess his statement was only half true. The only car that is limited is the NSX. Dealers are only allowed one per year, unless they get one from the local autoshow.

Just this weekend, we bought a 2005 TSX 6-speed non-nav, red on black. We drove from Austin to Houston (about 175 miles) to get the car because we wanted that exact color combination and it was the only red on black non-nav 6-speed we could find in 12 states.
I think the most prevalent colors for TSX in general are gray, silver, and black. The least prevalent seem to be blue and red. I think white is somewhere in the middle.
