Default Anyone heard of the S1600?

I was at SF Japantown at a Japanese bookstore, and on the front of a magazine cover it says "exclusive scoop, Honda S1600"

I look inside and it had pictures; the car looks like a 350z covertible. From what little Japanese I can read, it is a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive car. 1.6 liter 3 stage VTEC, and supposed to be "very affordable."

The Japanese font was weird, but I think the magazine's name was "Za-muika" or "Za-maika" or something like that. The date of the mag was Feb 2006. Anyone know anything about this car?

If Honda really wants to make a staple in the American market as well as European they should make a Miata fighter.

They have tried two different ways so far. The S2000 which is too performance and too expensive compared to the miata, and the Del Sol which was just a civic with a fixed roof.

They should make two models, one with a civic engine and one with more hp and sportier. That's what toyota should have done with the MR but they goofed it all up.

The S1000 won't compete, not with a Miata with 170HP.

No pictures but I found this -- with a poor translation:

HONDA S1600 & New Civic Type R [ CAR & CAR ]
The day when HONDA becomes vigorous is when! * & * It is the PAGA-NI.



When today, the book is browsed,

Those where HONDA becomes the S1600 in the midst of
developing
The article appearing, it increased.

As for truth of the matter as anyhow,

HONDA persevering, it probably is る?


As for the S1600 of course the ことだ っ of the FR it is,

When that happens, unless all must develop new model, expectation.

Diversion of the chassis of the S2000 development probably will be high costwise and,

As for the sport engine of the 1600cc, there is no current HONDA.

It is completely the new design! Being disgusted ゃ.

As for rival per roadster?

The cartridge it is the MR-S.

Then summer has rumor the deca- beat which,

Whether it was funny.


So having, you notify new model ti Bick type R appearance formally.

As for this the concept model being announced with the Geneva show of next year,

From beginning of 2007 years it must be with sale in Europe.


* & * As for Japan?


That -, as for the air which sells type R in Japan?

* & * Current what should have been said to HONDA probably?



On the other hand S1600 compared to ti Bick type R

I do, being to want but * & *.
