That would be a great addition to their arsenal.

If they made the 2006 S2000 with turbo and traction control.... I'd trade up. Otherwise, I'm keeping mine forever.

is this a rumor or a fact?
didn't some magazines print that the S2000 would come with a 5 cylinder engine?

Yup. The Honda Hobio, That's, and Life in Japan all have turbos....but they're not exciting cars.
