Sweet!

I wonder when Honda is going to get smart and market a "lever" for the bumper (light to dark) and one running vertically along the tailgate...

I really like that color, it works with this vehicle. I am choosing between that and the tangerine. I so it in person yesterday and thought it really cool. Enoy it!!!

Kalinka, I think you pick a different color every day :roll:

But I know how you feel: I'll take one of each!

I think I could make up my mind if I could just see them all.. Most places only have silver, there was one blue, yesterday I saw the green. Hopefully we will start getting more of them and then I can make my choice.

A beautiful choice - the Kiwi is really pretty. A good choice - just not for me. 1st, I was in LOVE with the Tangerine AND 2nd, because I do turtle rescue and the puns, jokes and comparisons would be just TOO much. I already get called the "Turtle Lady" so having a green vehicle would be over the top - and the earlier green called Galapagos - well don't even go THERE!:D
Have fun in your new E, I sure am.

No offense to the other EX-P's but I really do think the Kiwi is the best looking of all the painted panels- and I usually do not like green.. but this is a beautiful rich green!

Awesome looking! There isn't a color that doesn't look nice on the E. All the diferent pics I've seen posted, I
like all the colors. If I were able to have one of each of the colors, I would......

No offense but, wouldn't it be cool to get a painted panel E and switch the painted panels for unpainted ones....That would be a truly different look....Almost goes against everybody painting the panels lol...

Excellent choice!! I bought the same one and I love it. Well, not that exact same one, just the same model and color... Anyway, my friends are all cooing over it. I'll bet you are getting a lot of attention with that baby.

LoL I remember before the ex-p's came out, kiwi was one of the first colors released, and every ones response was like " eew" or "gross"

Well, I would call it George, but my web designer is named George, so that would be weird. Someone suggested I call it Elroy, but my husband wants to just call it the Toaster. I'm waiting for the car to suggest something better, but I have a feeling the Toaster is going to stick.

Someone suggested the name "Kermit" for mine. I said forget it.

emm Kermit-T-Frog here... JJ

I like the kiwi green, although I don't think I could pull it off. Even still, I think the Kiwi green ones just look like they need a surf board on top and wood pannels on the sides for the ultimate surfmobile.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but wouldn't that look exactly like the LX or EX (black panels)? I love the Kiwi, but I really don't like the EXP's. The black plastic panels add contrast and do a lot for the overall looks. Seeing the Kiwi with the black plastic panels put me on this road (forum) in the first place...lol.

Not knowing I own an E, a colleague this week made a crack about another colleague's E -- the "microwave," she called it.

I informed her that "microwave" was a new one on those of us in E-land accustomed to hearing it referred to as a "toaster."

Another guy at work this morning complimented me on my Range Rover after I whipped by him in the garage.

Apparently the E is, as the Honda print ads alude: a chameleon.
