Many thanks for putting up the photos of 06. I am sure Honda was trying to improve in every aspect.

There was only one S2000 which was parked next to a race version (no pictures, camera died). However, there were probably 11 of the new civics for people to try out.
What do you mean by bumper manufacturing defect?

Thanks for the pics

But real pics of it just go to help me continue not liking the car

I didn't like the wheels and the new seats with headrests. Yes every change on the car (including the other technical changes such as drive by wire) makes it seem more "mature" and "sophisticated" but at the same time it takes away from the sheer harshness and "racy" essence of what an S2000 was known to be.

That is what I liked about the S2000 and now that they are making it appeal to more and more people, I'm afraid that we'll be seeing more stuck up snobby mid life crisis people driving them around... People that couldn't handle the car before will now be able to and will therefore buy it because it can perform but is now "softer" and "easier to bear"

Just my $.02 that I wanted to share. No need for anyone to get riled up

I think its black because this is the F20C version of the car. It still has the older 2.0L engine ... This is the Euro version of the car don't forget.

BTW- For anyone who wants to see pics of the new blue, goto www.hondanews.com and look at the pics for the S2000 there. Its called Laguna Blue Pearl here though.
