In this edition of S2000s in the News (our random news feature in which we troll the internet in search of news related to the S2000), we have reports of crashes, one of which could have been avoided while the other appeared to have been inflicted on the unsuspecting S2000 owner. Montgomery News, a regional [...]

 There is something to be said about Halo cars – they provide street cred to a manufacturer and its fans, bragging rights about ‘Ring Times’ and opportunities galore to exploit young impressionable minds via social media outlets. Nissan has the behemoth GT-R, Toyota has that curious carbon creation, the Lexus LF-A, Chevy has the Corvette [...]

The Mid-Ohio course is well-known to all of us as the place where our members and their Honda S2000′s participate in the parade laps for the Honda Indy 200 (IndyCar) race with the drivers riding shotgun. This event has become a tradition for the Ohio S2000 owners. Little known though is the fact that the [...]

 PlanetLeMans reports that the Muscle Milk Aston Martin Racing car took victory at a chaotic race in Mid-Ohio. In addition to controversial decisions handed out like candy by race control, the Mid-Ohio Honda S2000 Safety Car ground to a halt with transmission trouble as it attempted to gather the field behind it. The Porsche Cayenne [...]

The Fifth of August marks a quiet anniversary, an event that will most likely pass by unknown amidst the media circus over the Civic losing its Consumer Reports Recommendation and other worldly affairs. Twenty years have passed since Soichiro Honda breathed his last on August 5, 1991. He rose from humble beginnings to a position [...]

During the launch of the 2012 Civic Si (9th Generation Civic), a Honda executive told Car and Driver magazine off-the-record that “People have been saying that Honda’s lost its mojo, but that’s not true. We just put it in a closet for a while.” That may be true and perhaps Honda is working on reinvigorating [...]

In December of 2010, our friends at Car and Driver Magazine re-published their list of Top 10 cars from 2001 mentioning where those cars stood a decade later. Needless to say, the Honda S2000 made it to that list along with another Honda, the 2001 Accord.

Hot on the heels of the impending ninth-generation Civic come reports out of Japan that Honda has confirmed the manufacture and development of the next NSX. Rumors about an NSX redux have been doing the rounds for a while. You’ve probably read all about it by now. Takanobu Ito-san, when asked about an NSX replacement, [...]

Ever since Honda announced that production for the S2000 will end, there have been rumors about another coming. Some called it an AP3, yet others were looking forward eagerly to the arrival of the NSX. Rendered images flooded the internet and Honda too fueled the speculation with the OSM concept, and by starting to test [...]

Have you ever wondered to what extent the S2000 is hand built? Rumors have floated around that the interior was stitched together by experienced female Honda technicians, because they could do a better job than the men. All those rumors may now be put to rest. Understandably Honda (like any other manufacturer) has kept their [...]

We have been waiting for an S2000 successor for quite some time. Rumors have piled up and many renderings were considered to be a good sign of what will come next. However, we are living in “the future of the automotive industry” and hybrid technology becomes more popular and more practical. Honda plans to create [...]

The recent global economic storm has caught us all by surprise. We see entire nations & communities struggling to make sense of the downturn and adjust to the consequences. The paradigm of constant growth has proven to be a mirage and the situation calls for an assessment of where we are headed and what needs [...]

For more than 25 years, Car & Driver runs competitions to find out the top ten cars in America. The criteria for this list is being based on three factors, the performance that the car is intended for, if it is fun to drive, and of course the actual value the car represents. The Honda [...]

Check this rendered photo which is a speculation by the Japanese Best Car magazine of what it seems as the new generation of the Beat roadster. The same magazine gave us few images of, what it was supposed to be, the next S2000 as well. However, due to the current market that wants small and [...]
