Default S2000 reboot

Here is a link talking about a reboot of the S2000 for 2017.

S2000 Reboot

If rumors can be believed, a turbo 4-liter producing 350bhp. Accel 0-62 in 5 seconds, all while maintaining 33mpg!

For me, the set back is the cost. Estimated at nearly $60K!

Who would jump on it?

Interesting. Will it really come to the US? Who knows where honda is going these days. They need to go back to their roots and think long and hard. For starters please develop in japan and not the US which copies everyone else.

I don't think it matters where it's developed as long as there is the attention to detail that Honda puts into their flagship cars. Also keep in mind that straight cost conversions from one market to the next don't always reflect what the actual price will be

Pricing will appear almost completely arbitrary from our end. I remember some dude on reddit was saying the S2000 was almost 60K new in Canada.

As far as development, as long as it is a true enthusiast sports car that doesn't try too hard to be palatable to the masses (i.e. jack of all trades, master of none), it doesn't matter where it's developed. I'm sure it'll be spot on.

Lastly, I'll wait until I hear it from the horse's mouth before I get really excited. I've never been one to give validity to rumors... Though I won't lie, this is interesting if true.
