Not much headroom in that thing.

Presumably one lies flat and pedals away like a horizontal cyclist.

As usual, Car is FOS. Is the copywriter from Viz?

The proportions clearly suggest front-mid, although that could be a deliberate ruse...rumours go either way.

So as the S2000 nears 8 years of production does it look as though it will discontinue it or will Honda up date it?

Certainly no hot press news / spy shots, so if it does happen then it won't be released until around 2010.

I've loved the look since it first came to my attention and I think it is still a very fresh look

Fukui-san has promised us a replacement.

I have a lot of respect for what he says.
