So they can make the orange one.

(Utterly stupid, as every car maker has a blue car, because it is a popular colour. But this is a characteristic of Japanese thought: they decide for you)

Yes, they do indeed, but still I keep asking myself why they removed the vivid blue and NOT the royal blue??!!
That's the million dollar question, as the vivid blue appeared to be a much more popular colour than the latter.

vivid blue is a fantastic colour and I almost went for it myself. Cant believe they have stopped it. Would love to have seen the Type R done in Vivid Blue

Because they have a large stock of royal blue paint to use

And they need a spare paint tank to put the Tangerine paint in it maybe

Well, you even might be right!

alanwalne · 8th February 2008, 14:43

Why did they waste the last few Vivid Blue bodyshells doing a 1.4 special edition????

It would have been alot more worthwhile to put the 2.2 engine in them!!!!!

(awaiting stick for this) They have now stopped the only two decent colours for 5 doors (3 drs look brilliant in red) and too scared to get Tangerine even though I admire it, if I was to change now I really am not sure which colour I would go for.

babyjoe · 8th February 2008, 17:26

Indeed. If they now decide to discontinue Galaxy Grey, then I will truly get aggressive. The peace in my mind is gone.

Korkut Varol · 8th February 2008, 18:35

I think stopping the vivid blue is a wrong tactic. They could have discarded one of a hundred shades of grey to make room for the tangerine orange, if discarding a colour was a must.

mat_gg · 8th February 2008, 20:26

Bad dessision i would say because it was a great color for the car...

I wil agree with your opinion my friend........

GHGH · 8th February 2008, 21:01

A burst of pure stupidity.
Let's hope it doesn't continue...

alanwalne · 8th February 2008, 21:55

I have heard that Honda are going to discontinue Nighthawk Black and replace it with Jazz baby pink

Just kidding (I hope)

Sekhmet · 10th February 2008, 13:23

Honda management in charge of car colors in on drugs, I can see no other explanation.

Type S Bournemouth · 10th February 2008, 13:33

i think the choice of colours is to limited now.

Totally Agree!

babyjoe · 10th February 2008, 13:47

It reminds me of when Ford built his T-Ford: available in all colours as long as it was black.
Honda Civic: available in all colours as long as they're shades of grey.

The accountant wasn't on drugs believe me ("mouse gray" = popular, cheap pigments, cheap to buy)

If they weren't selling that many, they could think of offering custom colours as an option, would be nice
