Default Honda S660

Hey folks! Just came across this article this morning and felt I'd share.

Haha I didn't even think of that. I had a Del Sol before my S2000. Always have my eye out for another clean one.

Edit: Here is Jalopnik's article on it.

Glad to see Honda is trying to edge their way back into fun, sporty cars. It's a step in the right direction but nothing I would be willing to give up my S2000 for. I'm more interested in that last bit of the article:

Interestingly, the S660 is actually part of a bigger picture for Honda — a picture we are hearing involves three mid-engined sports cars and a reference to the “third brother” of a mid-engined trio that Honda bosses are currently evaluating.

That new coupe, says one Honda engineer, could be similar in size and price to the Toyota 86. That’s good news because without the S2000, Honda certainly needs a compact sports car to slot in between the new NSX and the S660.
If that is true, I am VERY interested in seeing what vehicle that will be. NSX is out of reach for me... S660 doesn't quite grab me. Something in between the 2 though, I can get very excited about depending on what they come up with. Please let it come to fruition and be something amazing

Hated the Del Sol with a passion never before seen. KIWF.

Only Honda I'd consider would be a direct successor to the S2000.

A mid-engine 3.0 litre Cayman/Boxster fighter would excite me greatly.

My first thought was "OSM."
My second thought was "Nice styling, but looks tall."
My third thought was "DelSlow."

If it's FF, whatever.
If it's MR, that's nice.
If it's 150 PS, that's eh.

Most other countries are taxed based on engine size, so it makes sense.

It doesn't say the concept is North America bound and Honda do sell cars other than in the US, shocking I know.

I'm not holding out for an S2000 replacement from Honda, but as I'm still content with my S, it doesn't really matter.

Purportedly MR.

Sounds like fun, I'll believe it when I see it.
