No the MY03 is a dumbed down version of the MY01 which was an improvement on the orig MY00. The best continues to be the '01.

As the all knowing, all educated one, are you talking about the '04 or the '01?
Any bets on the slush box? :-)

Sounds like what they did for the car overall makes it an even better sports car, imo. Given a choice of an '04 with the 'original' S2000 engine over a pre-'04, I'd pick the '04. Given the 2.2 engine, it seems to be a toss up for me, but I wait to see how the new engine does with its gearing.

So Prolene,

Do I hear an engine swap coming??

You're probably one of the crazy ones to do that

Can someone explain this to me? What part of the front lip are we not already seeing. I'm not so worreid about the 2004 engine changes, but from the pictures, the 'eyelids' underneath the front headlights look like they are bowed outwards. To me it really takes away from the angular front face of the car and makes it entirely too rounded. If you compare the amount of horizontal space between the front of the headlight to where it drops down vertical to the grill portion, it is almost twice as large, and it is definitely rounded. This alone seems to damage a lot of the great lines they created on the original style.

Is there something missing from the pictures we've seen then?
