Default 2006 Honda S2000 TCS *RUMOR*

From very strong sources, I am told that the 2006 Honda S2000 is already in America, AHM Torrance. The car is being tested on the "hidden" tracks in the desert.

I am told (What you know)
1. Laguna Blue
2. White/BLk

What I was told:
2006 MIGHT come with TCS. Traction Control.

Now: (Flames on)
To those who don't know who I am. I have very strong ties w/ a few people. I was the 1st person on s2ki.com top post Rendered drawings of the new 2004, in 2003, and I was ON THE DOT.

Honda always test their cars during this time of the year before they release and take orders, so ANYTHING can change. What I can tell you, the 2006 in Torrance HAS TRACTION CONTROL ON IT. BUT that does not mean they they can't or won't swap it.

Non-S2000 Related:

The New Civic SI will have optional NAVI, and HPT package on it. The white SI will NOT come w/ red interior, but only black.

The EX's Civic will also have NAVI Optional.

Look for the Honda "FIT" 1.3 or 1.5L Vtec, to show up in 2006 and release in 2007.

Hmm seeing how every single Acura car has some changes, some very massive (the TSX for one) I can see this happening. I hope it does too because im sitting out waiting for the 06 before I get my S2K. Any news on if it will have any exterior changes or performance?

This is ONLY a rumor and not confirmed.

Honda can ALWAYS change things LAST min.
