Default 2018/2019 Honda S2000

More Details Emerge on Honda's S2000 Revival – News – Car and Driver | Car and Driver Blog

Via Car and Driver. Timing (70th Anniversary and 20 years after the debut of the S2000) sounds about right.

Highly skeptical of all details in this article, including the idea that Honda is even working on this. That boy has cried wolf way too many times now.

I love how the commenters are taking it all as real, complaining about the styling, as if that wasn't just some random render.

I have no qualms about a 320+ hp engine, nor about an 8spd DCT transaxle.

Not counting on this to be true. Would be good timing for Honda. I sure hope the front end is nothing like the artist's drawing. Might as well just buy a Miata or Alfa if that's the way it'll look. Would be good timing for me as I think we'll be replacing a car at end of lease around then...

Corrected.

$50K? No dice. Especially if it only has a dual clutch. Too many other options in that price range. And before somebody posts how that is in line with inflation from the original, I don't care. The original was excellent performance for when it was released into a market void of much competition and at a decent price. Now you are talking about getting back in just under a Vette with far less hp. 320hp for $50k with an auto sounds like a hairdresser's car. This board just gave (Spudracer?) a whole boatload of crap about how his SLK AMG was just such a vehicle and not a sports car. By the time it comes out there will be plenty of used Cayman/Boxster S four bangers at 350 hp, your choice of PDK or manual and around 3,000 pounds.

To each their own, but to get me interested the target price and weight need to come down, and/or the HP go up.

The WRX is currently 305hp and under 3500 pounds for $27k to start.
