Actually................ the only posts of yours I ever seem to see are doing exactly that ??
Strange really isn't it that you do it, don't seem to think you are doing it but still post.

There's a name for that...................

etc....
If someone wants to "slag off" the S WGAF - we are all grown ups. It's an internet forum not the real world

The S2000 is shat - there we go

Is there any direct evidence to support that though?

The way i'd see it is that they are taking necessary actions as a preventitive measure.

Surely a company with any sense would forcast the bottom of the downturn curve and approximate it's sales figures based on that?

No point in being half arsed - you know the score so cut what you can as fast as you can so that you can stay 'comfortable' instead of streching.

Of course it could be as simple as you put it.

The more people that think the S2000 is 'Shat' the better

Yes, but it does become rather tedious after a while when such a high percentage of Subaru's comments are simply Honda bashing for the sake of it.

This is the usual response on most forums to that sort of behaviour..........



.........followed by a warning or ban by admin.

Usually performed by people trying to get a reaction to what they post, because as it's only the internet and not the real world they can't get hurt.
But to most people it's just boring.........

as usual, there are two sides to the story

sub has a blind spot about the tone and frequency of his posts about the S2000/Honda in general

he maybe doesn't 'get' that even when factual, they won't be well received

but there is also on occasion a rather pathetic loyalty to the S2000/Honda in general

which itself demonstrates a kind of blind spot

I'm quite sure that it's the same on most forums, and I think the only way it will stop is if people resist the temptation to react

on both sides

I agree with you, but afterall it is an S2000 forum......... why would someone want to be part of it if all they can do is have a go at it and Honda in general ??

We could of course all retaliate about the choice of cars of Subaru2000 but of course we all make choices and some of them are right, some are wrong.
But, as far as I'm concerned it's all a little sad.
Just makes me wonder the mentality of that type of person.

I did stop posting on here for a fair while as that type of poster started to annoy me, but needed to look into some issues on my car. So now keep up with the forum again as there seems to be a fair few newbies with the issues that most of us have had in the past.

I guess I might just take another s2ki holiday and see if it has improved when I return.

Dont know what you've being reading but the new 370Z is lighther than the model it replaces (1520kg vs 1532kg). Its shorter and more powerful.. sounds like development to me!! Claimed 0-60 is also 4.4 so its not exactly slow!

put it into perspective Simon

it's not exactly a big issue, is it?

and it's usually limited to very few threads

I think everyone would benefit if you stayed around, but for your sake, maybe out of those debates
