2008 Color - Chicane Silver ???

S2000dude · 12-30-2007, 05:08 PM

Just curious.... I see that Honda calls its silver offering for 08 - Chicane Silver.

Has anyone seen the new silver in person? Is it any different than Silverstone?

I see they have gone away from specific track names for the colors to parts of any track.

I had a Silverstone 03 and put it next to my new 07 and they are a tad different... But it was a dark and stormy night, so who knows... I still call this one silverstone, but I think the new blend is chicane silver according to the dealer. Since I don't know what chicane means, I'm still a silverstone in my book!

Short twisties Scoot, usually only a switchback's worth n' usually synthetically provided . . but the end result is crankin' the wheel hard-over n' the resultant Gs make the name inconsequential.
I know it probably degrades resale value n' desireability, but silver'z silver n' charcoal silver'z somethin' that's been aroun' alot longer'n any'a the hoity-toity names that the car companies lay on us.
I'm jus' a simple man'z'all.
('Sides, chicane jus' sounds frog n' they're notorious fer always goin' ouda their way ta make user-unfriendly words)
Be well,

Ah, I get it, you made me check Wiki to find out, then I remembered it from watching the occasional open-wheel race. Those silly little extra turns they throw in, fun for us! Cheers.
