What will you guys do when?
Ok this is a question I was thinking about this morning on the way to work. When your S gets to old/out dated to be your daily driver(if it is your daily driver)what will you try to look for? Will you look for a new roadster, or a newer S2000? Will you try to keep this one in the family for as long as you can? I guess what I'm getting at is the S is a NOW car, what will happen when it's not? Do you think people will just forget about it, or will people remember it and 10yrs from now still admire the S!

I compare the S2000 to the last gen RX-7s and Supras. 300ZXs and 350Zs I've never included because they are a dime a dozen. Don't even get me started on the RX-8, that car is already forgotten. Z3s will be remembered and I can see them becoming like MGs, Boxsters will crowd junk yards, as will SLKs. Z4s, thats a harder one to guage.

My next car will either be the Elise, or a C6. Nothing else currently has my interest.

As long as I am in good health, and can continue to get in and out of the car...which sometimes can be challenging...then I don't see myself getting rid of the S2000. I love the way it looks, drives and handles...and could care less what other people think about my car. After all...it is MY car and not theirs !
The only other way I could see myself replacing it, would be if it became a total 'money pit'.

I 'intend' to keep the S forever....of course, that's waht I said about my 92 GS-R/ITR, all-trac turbo, 90 Civic Si, and WRX wagon. But honestly, the S is a completely unique car and one I'd like to keep as long as I can. It's not my DD, so I've got a little less to worry about.
As far as a replacement DD (from my 86 Civic Si ), I'm thinking the TSX is high on the list....along with a G35.....we'll see.....that's quite a few years away...

Re: Intense and the TSX as a DD. I get my first and hopefully only S tomorrow.
The TSX os one of the nicest combinatons of luxury, gadets and sport tunung But . . .
I drove the TSX auto, liked it, but I am a card-carrying member of the "real cars have three pedals" society. I waited forever for the local Acura store to get a TSX 6-speed. Drove it and was way disappointed. No low end torque. Had to really buzz it in town to get acceptable traffic manners -- not sport. The S definitely has much more low end (<4000 rpm) punch. IMHO, a DD, especially a lux ride like the TSX should have punch without a lot of effort. Moral, don't overlook the auto trans model -- it is sweet
