New Tonneau cover appears to be a new UK/Europe item - not US/Canada.

Also Australia. It can always be imported.

(Gotta see it first, though. Honda Australia's S2000 page is for the 2004 model. )

None of their sites have it even listed in the Accessories list yet, as far as I could find. I didn't go to each country;s individual site, though....

After all this bashing of the '06, owning one might be an invitation to getting your head kicked in by owners of earlier models.

I like the 06 changes, and im glad they did it, the car needed that, every sports cars has VSA, you guys are funny saying since it lost its not a sports car, look at ferraris and lambos, and aston martins they all have VSA, stop being in denial you know the 8 speakers new heardrest and wheel looks good, i love everything about it, they refined just enough to keep with the same s2000 spirit

As it's been pointed out multiple times in this thread, the 237hp rating is just because of a change in how SAE HP figures are calculated. It's the same motor as before.

Regarding the other changes in 06, I think VSA is a good thing for the general public who will buy the car. VSA can be at least partially disabled (possibly fully disabled). If honda did the DBW system correctly the response will still be very good. Of course, you wont be able to fix the linkage with fishing wire at the track anymore (I doubt any S2000 owners have done that anyways tho )

The wheels I'll have to see in person before forming a real opinon of them. Ext Temp gauge, eh, whatever. I live in Florida so it's almost always going to read some high number.

It'll come down to how the 06 drives, until then, the bench racing is pretty useless.
