So perhaps Honda have dropped it in the UK due to low demand ?
As for the vivid blue (which I like too), once again, the more adventurous the colour then the more of a fashion related decision it will be, it will often 'date' the car too, the orange looks fabulous but in 3 years time you'll know it was a 2008MY car if you're observant (or a sad petrol-head) like me.....
Just think how all those metallic turquoise cars from the mid 1990s looked by 2000 (OK this dates me I know).

I agree that the colour could seen a little 'oap' but I really liked it and I am nowhere near 'oap age'. I don't live in the UK and over here it is quite a popular colour. Having said that they don't believe me that Honda has an 'age' issue with there cars as the believe them to be 'too modern' for older people.
I understand that colour is relative to the person etc etc but I am not sure that champagne silver would have the 'fashion police' out in years to come, although I am hardly a fashion victim and wouldn't have a clue.
Tangerine orange scares me
