I haven't seen anyone asking about it yet, but is there any info? I would expect not too much to change....

No word yet. Although I don't expect any major changes. I work for a car data company and we haven't heard anything from Honda yet. I'll post the info when we get it.

Come back in 2008 they're won't be any major changes until then.....

Consider the changes for prior years......

MY00-01.....no major changes......

MY01-02.....Glass soft top....tweeters....ECU upgrade......

MY02-03....no major changes......

MY03-04....17inch wheels, 2.2L engine, suspension changes, headlights, taillights, new bumpers, new spoilers front and rear....probably a few more...

I'm sure they're are a couple changes I missed over the year(I think there was s rear spring change somewhere between My00-03), but there will be NO major changes till 2008....It would not be cost effective....

The only way that major changes will be done before 2008 is if a competitor comes out with a car that steals a significant portion of the s2000 market share...the 350Z, RX-8 etc.....have yet to have an impact on sales.....

Even then there is a 50-50 chance they may choose to discontinue the line rather than update it.....

Since 2004 was a major change, Honda is unlikely to do anything but tweak something.

But I'm expecting a change to the sticker price. Steel costs are up worldwide, as well as energy costs. And since they apparently have begun advertising for the S2000 (TV ads), I'm expecting that they want the demand to be there when they raise the price.
