Not true.

I don't know where MT gets their data, but Automotive News has been reporting for the last few months that S2000 sales are INCREASING. See below.


Automotive News. "U.S. light-vehicle sales by nameplate, March and 3 months 2004"

While washing my car this weekend, I had a kid about 10-12 years old, come up to my car and start taking pictures of it. He walked away, and about 5 minutes later, came back to find out what kinda car it was. Then he goes back and tells his friends, its a S2000... "have you ever seen one before" ... "they are really fast".....
I couldn't help but think... its good there aren't alot of these around.. makes mine more exclusive!!

Must have something to do with the fact that Honda replaced that anemic 2.0L with the brawny new 2.2L.

I'm sure the changes probably help to keep the sales from dropping off if nothing else. And I think the somewhat improving economy helps too. But really, the whole point of my post was just that I couldn't help making a stab at STL in response to his standard anti-'04 comments...

LOL. I don't keep track of the players in these ongoing Model Year arguments.

Gee, I feel so cheated by not buying a REAL S2000. I'll contact the BMV and have them correct the title to reflect a falsie....

As there are now more used S2000's for sale I think it keeps the sales of new ones down some.
