Interesting subject that has been debated here before. My NSX is red/black and I have no regrets. The view from the drivers seat with the red fenders, mirrors, and spoiler(in the review mirror) is awsome. I test drove a black/black and a black/ivory and was not impressed. Personally I think Acura's 2-tone interior approach does not look good, and white carpeting is not a rational decision anywhere. I have to admit that I have seen some wonderful looking photos of black NSXs posted on this site, but when viewed in person the black color hides the lines of the car. The black is obviously more stealthy (draws less attention, turns fewer heads) than the red which has it's advantages and disadvantages. If it doesn't attract the cops attention, it won't attract most peoples. The reason red/black is more common is simply because more people like it. For those that make the claim of 'rarity', it is fine as long as it is what appeals to the individual. Owning something purely for rarity does not make sense. If Acura made a one-only NSX with an automatic on the column and a bench seat, maybe someone would buy it but I wouldn't (regardless of color). I would consider a black/black, but only because I think it would be the easiest to repaint to a different color (orange, yellow, etc), but I haven't convinced myself that I could live with the repaint. The beauty of the situation is that we all get to make our own personal choices without having to justify our decision to anyone but ourselves. All this said, I have to admit I would like to own an early model silver/black coupe, top painted silver, with red seats and late model wheels. Just my opinion.
