Default What do you guys think about an 03 spa yellow NSX?

The deal that I had for a silver NSX fell through. I am now seriously considering a Spa Yellow NSX w/black leather interior. It would be my weekend car as I have a daily driver. If any of you would be so kind to give me the pros and cons, I would appreciate it. Here is a pic of it:

Not too many cars look good in yellow, but I think the NSX is one of those that do

IMHO, nsx itself is pretty flashy. it turns head everywhere you drive. So it doesnt really matter! buy it!

I think I am most worried about the unwanted attention that can arise from the yellow color. Then again, an NSX in any color can attract the unwanted attention. I'm really trying hard to justify this yellow nsx!

Yellow is a little flashy, but it's an NSX... it's flashy just on its own. It's just like Ferrari's and Lambo's... They use flahy colors because they want everyone to see it. I say buy the NSX... that car is HOT!

I don't consider yellow flashy when it's an exotic.
A yellow Camry, now that's flashy...actually that's tacky.
Get it, then put either black or color matched wheels on it.

Spa Yellow is an absolutely gorgeous color in person, it has one of the nicest metallics in the last ten years, easily. If I bought an NSX it'd be spa yellow or red for sure. I say go for it.

I think the Spa Yellow is a very nice color. Might be hard to match the Pearl color, so don't scratch it Anyway, when it comes to the NSX or any other exotic car I say get what you want. Don't settle. If you really don't mind the Yellow go for it. If you really wanted the Silverstone Silver/Onyx, wait until you find one and buy it.
