Yep that's what is holding me back. There is an interesting development though. My commute which has been 25-45 minutes for the past 4 years of S2000 ownership (putting 56K miles on) is likely to be 5-10 minutes within the next year. This would mean getting a car that would sit in the garage a lot is not entirely unreasonable.

You're right. It will trancend "head turner" and be a "crowder gatherer".

I doubt the Atom will be street legal in the U.S. though...
