why are we already talking about the 05 if the 04 hasnt been delivered yet?
05 model probably will have minor changes like someone said( sorry i cant find the sentence it was posted in
)
oh and hey thunderchicken thats some high quality drawing capability right there
j/k
now i think the big question is what is going to happen to cars in general in like 10-15 years or sooner when hydrogen and the damn steering wheel controls comeout??
btw, i hate these new concepts of cars with no pedals, hydrogen, etc.. as some of you may have read in my pasts posts.

Actually I have seen bits of info in several places that indicate there will be a major revision for 2005. Temple of VTEC has it on their "model release matrix" and I seem to remember a couple of magazines saying the same.
The mild revision for 2004 confuses the issue, but Japanese auto manufacturers don't usually let a car sit around for more than 5 years without making changes. In their market you need new product to sell product, so it wouldn't surprise me if brings a new S2000 to market for 2005.
My *unofficial* guess...
--V6 engine
--sequential transmission
--more interior room
--retractable hard top
--more gadgets (traction control, adaptive cruise control, real stereo).
--target price of around $39,000
The fact is, "pure" cars like our beloved S2000 are a rare breed that usually get snuffed out by market demands. The fact that Honda made a car as extreme as they did is amazing to me, so I rewarded them with a purcha$e. By most accounts the 350Z has been a smash hit in the marketplace, selling at 5 or 6 times what the S2000 is doing, that gets the attention of the marketing guys. On the other hand, if they have a car slated for 2005 release they would have finalized the design way before the 350Z hit the market. So who knows. Would I buy a more powerful, bigger, softer car? Dunno, if it puts a big smile on my face like my '03...maybe.
Lesson: Enjoy your car now.
