I'd consider that...but I lust after a Caterham far more than an S2000. I've wanted one almost as long as I've wanted a Miata and a Jeep and a Porsche.
So far I'm halfway through my list...

Yep, Caterham imports cars here as "kits" and then you can either build it yourself and source the engine/tranny or you can get a turn-key car from a Caterham distributor of which I think there are a half dozen or so around the country. The motor of choice appears to be a Ford Zetec 4-banger similar to what's used in the Ford Focus.

I drove a Caterham 7 a couple of times in the UK and it was just SOOOO much fun 
Having said that, I would NOT consider it as a daily driver .... 
I like my creature comforts far too much to drive one of those in the rain or when it's cold ....

I tried searching for a thread I made in Car Talk, but the search engine must not be working today.
BTW, nice car Trent. I'm just sayin that cuz I have to though.
RX8 is too much of a compromise for my taste. :/
