Hi All,

In case you weren't aware of this by now, the European version gets the new styling cues, new 17" wheels, bigger rear brake disks (rotors) and a rear foglamp incorporated within the driver's side tail lamp (instead of white back-up light, so one red and one white lamp on the rear) as well as the original 2.0 litre engine.

Great news!!!

I've just found the same information in this thread:

And it seems that it is still spa yellow.

Thanks for posting those pics!! You can clearly see the red rear foglight that I mean!
(Somebody needs a better camera though! )

Just as expected.

Americans like numbers, and that's why we get F22C and EJ25 here instead of F20C and EJ20 in other places.

That's why the car is still named S2000!

I'd sure like to know what our European members think about this. Do you guys feel screwed not getting the new 2.2 or are you happy about retaining the 2.0 with the 9000 redline?

Very very happy. That made my day.

Here in Europe we don't have that muscle car culture. If we got the new engine, I'm sure this would put down the sales.

Not to mention the taxes. Most european countries car taxes are based on displacement...

Spiel,

What about the suspension? Did we get the US spec suspension?

Do you have any info on that?
