Looks great who cares about the 9000 rpm all that matters it accelerates faster then the previous model

 

All that matters?! To you I suppose. Not to me.

Long live the S2000 Type-RSX......

 

hey NO REAR SHOTS???????????

 

Don't like the gauge cluster. Interior looks nice. I like the two tone seats.

 

Yes I need to add that I do dig the new interior and seats. I also like new headlights.

 

Since there is no full rear shot in this latest set of pics, I wanted to mention those squared off tail pipes.. it may not be an impossibility, as the new MDX has a very similar design.

Something to ponder till more pics show up

 

BC, I actually don't see any perforations in the headrest that would indicate speakers in the seat. In the first picture, the mesh also looks see-through so I don't think the speaker is within that area. I do however see a re-design on the door panel where the old tweeter used to be. It's possible that there's a new tweeter design and also possible that there are speakers in the rear deck or behind the seat but that's speculation at this point unless any dealers/salesman have information otherwise. I guess you'll be one of the first to find out??

BTW, I love the front intake and the black/red seats & door panels. The front and rear lights look good too. I still think that the original S can hold its own against numerous other cars (even the new model) but the new S will have a far broader appeal and that's what makes money for the company. There are far more people who don't mind not having 9k RPM as a redline but that's ok because I'm not one of them. I didn't buy this car because it had great trunk space and I didn't buy it because it had the best fuel economy. Like I told the salesman during my test drive, "this car is purpose built and it was meant for one thing."

With that said, the new car looks great and should do well. But as a request to Honda, please don't water it down too much!

 

I like the 00-03 steering wheel though.
Different from those civic's.
It looks a like civic's steering wheel with that badge.

 

I don't think dropping the redline 1K rpm is that big of a deal. I can't imagine complaining about an 8K rpm redline...........we are spoiled. Is the 2005 model going to be different?
