Honda kills the S after '06 and then rolls out a, turbo 4-cyl with paddle shifters...in an SUV?!

240hp at 6000 rpm and 260lbs of torque at 4500? That sure would suc.

 

Honda is killing the S2000 after '06 the same way it did in '01, '02, '03, '04, and '05.

 

So, this article by Drew on S2ki is pure fiction intended to amuse us?

I think the Honda XGA will probably have the turbo motor and SH AWD (according to the car magazines). I think the S2000 will be around for at least another year. They would not make all the changes they did only to axe it the next year. DBW and VSA are not cheap to develop.

April fool's or not, if the technology is there, why not at least try adapting it to the S before eventually killing it off instead or IMO wasting it on a boring, non-performance crossover vehicle like the RDX? You mean next year I stand a good chance of having my a$$ handed to me by a cheaper, yet more powerful roadster built by GM? If Honda is not killing the S soon, how do they plan to compete with that? I'm sure there's a lot of potential buyers out there that would opt for faster, cheaper over better built, better overall and reliable. This is America after all.

I can't imagine it would be that difficult to make the variable flow turbo an option for the S. It's bad enough they won't let us have the supercharger option here in the US and I'll bet my paycheck there's a Honda RD exec somewhere in Japan with a turbo S2k.

 

What do you expect from a production car thats going into its 7th-8th year which basically remained the same? There will always be newer faster cars coming out, honda decided not to mess with a good thing and many people still like the s2000 for what it is.

 

it's in a totally different market, sorry but 240hp in a suv is nothing really.

did honda confirm they will stop at 07 yet? or just another wild guess?

it's killing me you guys are still talking about the XGA

 

One of the people on this site who work for Honda (whom I know and trust) told me that his dealership ordered their alotment of '07 S2000's already. That is all the info I have, sorry.

 

from the best motoring vids. they need to kill the S after 07 or upgrade it. cause we got murdered by the new boxter s and cayman.
