i would be interested in a 4 door sedan with 230hp...

that is only if the EVO VII doesn't make it's way
here!

There was a photoshop rendition some time ago on an S2000-based sedan. You may or may not have seen it:

 

The rumor is for a coupe, but any varient is hard to believe. Why would Honda want to step on the Accord and Integra market with another car?

 

I don't care what anybody says...I really like that photoshop job of the "4-door S2000"

 

don't see it happening.
the S2000 is part of the long heritage of the Honda "S" cars and i don't really see Honda turning one car from that history into a "platform".
also, this would require Honda to turn out even more cars from that one line.
finally, they'd create competition for the RSX as well as the rumoured 6 speed 6 cylinder Accord.
just my $0.02 worth.

 

Whats the difference between the original VTEC system and the i-VTEC system? and which system does the US s2000 have?

 

iVTEC is a new thing that came out this year (i think the MT 2002's will use them, dunno) that supposedly have lower emissions and better torque, but 10 less hp. THere's a post on it somewhere.

 

from a manufacturing perspective, if the S2000 is hand built along side the NSX, it would be pretty advantagous to try to produce a coupe or a sedan version of the S2000 without planning on a full production line. there are many costs associated with introducing a new platform, i don't think honda needs to add another... they've had such success with the accord already. $0.02.
