This thread reminds me of the one back in May, 2001, when some guy said that there would be a glass rear window for the '02. At that time, everybody insulted him like he was a real idiot. Everybody laughed at him, saying that the only glass rear window for the S2000 would be on the hardtop. I believed him and waited for the '02. Now I got a glass window and I don't have a hardtop.

 

I concur with the others that have said this. The S will go away in a year or two and there will be a reborn Prelude or CRX to take its place.

I don't think a radical redesign off a low-production sportscar is a very financially sound decision. I would guess the profitability on the S is probably the least of any car in the Honda lineup exclusive of the NSX, which they preportedly lose money on every single one produced.

 

Actually I looked up some of those posts. And this guy may have been one of the first to claim to have knowledge of the glass rear window.

 

Hasn't Honda discontinued every other S version vehicle after limited production runs with no immediate replacement? Why not the S2000?

 

It's a rumor... that's all it is... they aren't in denial... so blah.... whatever happens happens... I wish this guy never posted this in the first place.

 

If this is true, it's great news. To keep getting better, the car has to evolve and change. A new design is not necessarily a bad design -- it just depends on the design. I don't think anyone who liked XK-140s complained when Jaguar unveiled the E-Type. Both were classics in their time, and are today.

Can the S2000 be improved? Sure. Will that change in anyway the passion I have for this car? Never!

it is the point of what i posted. buying a car for depreciation means you want to try and get some of your money back. My point is, is that it isn't worth much to have a car with good depreciation. The extra few thousand you are gonna get back when you sell it, is in no way going to cover what you spent on it. When you add it up you will spend probably $4000-6000 a year on the car above the car payments. No amount of savings on depreciation is ever gonna make up for this.

So if honda brings out a better car and I lose a couple thousand on depreciation..oh well. I am realy losing a tiny amount of what i'm actually paying for the car. It really seems like a non-issue to me. Now if you are one to sell a car every year or so...maybe it means more to you, but if you plan on keeping the car for a while...it is going to make no/little difference in the long run.

denial....true I hoped my s2000 would take after the NSX last for a decade. I dont have the cash to be buying a new model every 5 years.

why change its perfect! I love my car...
