I think they are both hot as hell. That said....I like blue a bit more, and it seem like it was your first preference.

Production numbers for all colors where posted here (for those of you who missed the precursor to this thread):

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...3&page=2&pp=40

I thought honda/Acura didn't release any of this "proprietary" info?? They might have gotten the info the same way the 6spd CL info was "discovered"

Coming from a guy with a blue car...




<----------------------------------------------

I think Yellow is the best looking color on the NSX BUT, its all about what YOU want, and if you like the Blue, DO NOT COMPROMISE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!



*edit* the NSX is such an awesome car I'd take one in any color, even pink :theghey:

if the yellow has black interior go with the yellow, especially if its only a weekend car, so it stands out even more. but the blue does look mighty fine. Im torn between the two

I'm partially biased since I drive such a loud-colored car myself [ gold CL-S ] but fuggit, I say yellow. 'Tis always nice to stand out.

may be a little big, but here all ALL THE PRODUCTION NUMBERS FOR THE NSX yes, 1 TV is required to view all at once.
heres a link to it:
http://www.nsxprime.com/w/images/6/62/NSXCHARTJPEG.JPG

These are your following choices for ease of view:
For Blue/Black: 18 total, 17 Manual, 1 AT
For Blue/Blue: 23 total, 22 Manual, 1 AT
For Blue/Tan: 18 total, 15 Manual, 3 AT

For yellow, the color changed in 2004 to RIO YELLOW from SPA YELLOW, here are their production numbers;
2002-2003
Spa Yellow:
Yellow/Black: 59 total, 27 manual, 2 AT
Yellow/Yellow: 27 total, 26 Manual, 1 AT

For 2004, the RIO YELLOW:
Rio/Black: 19 total, 17 Manual, 2 AT
Rio/Yellow: 8 total, 7 manual 1 AT


Personally, I say go with the blue, looks a whole lot better, but if you have the time and money, look at IMOLA ORANGE, that is one sick color on an NSX

To give you guys a concrete example, here is a higher mileage NSX (2002) in the long beach blue. I talked to a sales guy and he said he can do 58k + tax.

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_id=241341341

Now, I can get a 2003 spa yellow for lower miles for 53k. So, as you can see, more miles... older... and 5k more.

I would've said blue, but since there is 7-10k differences go with yellow. Btw, what's the price tag on 02-04 nsx?

With more research I think that 7~10k price difference can be cut in at least half. Its not a fixed market difference rather is an untimely coincidence. Keep your eye out for a better priced blue rather than pulling a trigger with that huge of a difference.

You are considering this to be a collectors car, the production numbers speak for themself . We both know the more rare a color the more money it will fetch later down the road when this car is not as abundantly available as it is now (when I say abundant I dont mean one at every dealers lot).

I voted yellow, but I don't care what color an NSX is if I were getting one-- I generally don't like white or black, but would get an NSX in either color for the right price. Color is not a big issue for me- I'd buy an orange Mustang, so I'd live with yellow, red, blue, silver, grey, or lime green on an NSX, Ferrari or Lambo....

When paying over 50K for a car you intend to keep, then cheap out because of a measly 5-7K, you'll end up kicking yourself in the nuts later on. As others said, don't compromise.

Thanks guys for ALL the feedback. I've put my car up for sale on a few forums, so hopefully I can get this done soon. After going through my huge nsx photo collection, I'm really favoring yellow now. Blue is still my #1 choice, but I dont think I would hesitate in picking up a yellow NSX. So I guess it's about choice #1 vs. #2 (rather then "compromising).

I hate you!

I say go with the blue if thats what you really want.

I've been researching 94 - 98 NSXs recently. I wish I could afford 02 - 04!

Good luck with whatever you decide to buy, you bastard.

Edit: Yellow is hot. You can't go wrong.

Can someone loan me 60K please?

^ No. Didnt get it yet, I have to sell the Z first. I can't justify having both cars. Realisitcally, GTR isn't an option until year 2 or 3. I am definitely consdering it, but the NSX is a good option to "tie me over" for a couple of years. Then, if I want to get the GTR in '09/2010, then I can sell the NSX and pretty much break even. I guess some may ask, why not enjoy the Z for a few years, and just trade in for the GTR? Well, timing is everything... I think I can get the most value for the Z at this point, rather then waiting to sell it in 2-3 years. Besides, maybe I will love the NSX so much that I won't want anything else....
